USD Index Price Analysis: Initial up barrier comes at the 100-day SMA

DXY advances for the third session in a row and trades at shouting distance from the key barrier at 108.00 on Monday.

The continuation of the uptrend targets the temporary hurdle at the 100-day SMA, today at 109.18, prior to the resistance line around 109.70. The surpass of the latter could prompt gains to pick up pace in the short-term horizon.

While above the key 200-day SMA at 105.11, the outlook for the index should remain constructive. This region is also reinforced by the November low at 105.34 (November 15).
