USD Index Price Analysis: Losses should accelerate below the 200-day SMA

The index succumbs to the selling pressure and breaches 106.00.
A deeper pullback opens the door to the November low near 105.30.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY keeps the downtrend well and sound in the second half of the week, this time dropping well south of the 106.00 support.

In case the selling pressure accelerates, the US Dollar could shed further ground and dispute the November low at 105.34 (November 15). This area of contention appears underpinned by the proximity of the always relevant 200-day SMA, today at 105.27

While above the 200-day SMA, the outlook for the index should remain constructive.

EUR/USD challenges 1.1800, two-week lows

EUR/USD remains on the defensive, extending its leg lower to the vicinity of the 1.1800 region, or two-week lows, on Tuesday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers further traction ahead of key US data releases, inclusing the FOMC Minutes, on Wednesday.

GBP/USD looks weaker near 1.3500

GBP/USD adds to Monday’s pessimism and puts the 1.3500 support to the test on Tuesday. Cable’s marked pullback comes in response to extra gains in the Greenback while disappointing UK jobs data also collaborate with the offered bias around the British Pound.

Gold loses further momentum, approaches $4,800

Gold recedes to fresh two-week troughs around the $4,800 region per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal builds on Monday’s downtick following a marked rebound in the US Dollar and mixed US Treasury yields across the board.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP upside looks limited amid deteriorating retail demand

The cryptocurrency market extends weakness with major coins including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) trading in sideways price action at the time of writing on Tuesday.
