USD Index Price Analysis: Losses could accelerate below 102.00

DXY extends the rebound to 103.00 and above.
Further downside likely on a breach of 102.00.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY adds to Thursday’s gains and reclaims the area beyond 103.00 the figure at the end of the week.

Despite the ongoing rebound, the index remains under pressure. That said, there is the palpable probability that a deeper pullback could drag DXY to the area of lows seen in April and May around 101.00 once the June low of 101.92 (June 22) is cleared. Dow from here emerges the 2023 low around 100.80 recorded on April 14.

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA at 105.10 the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
