US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: The recent breakdown of the consolidation range opens the door for a visit to 94.80


  • The greenback remains under pressure after breaking below the multi-month sideline theme between 95.80 and 97.70 earlier in the week.
  • The probability of further downside thus remains in place, with the immediate target at the 94.80 region, where converge the critical 200-day SMA and October lows.
  • In case the selling impetus picks up extra pace, the 38.2% Fibo retracement of the 2017-2018 drop at 94.20 should come next ahead of September lows in the 93.70 zone.
