DXY drops for the third straight session and breaches the key support at 101.00 the figure to print new multi-day lows.

The continuation of the downward bias could initially drag the index to the 100.00 neighbourhood. The loss of the latter should leave the dollar vulnerable to a potential test of the 2023 low near 99.50 (July 14).

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA at 103.83 the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.
