Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY trades without clear direction below the 102.00 region at the end of the week.

The index maintains the choppy activity well in place so far this week. Occasional bouts of weakness could spark a potential decline to the 2023 lows in the 100.80/75 band (April 14) ahead of the psychological support at the 100.00 mark.

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 106.21, the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.
