USD Index Price Analysis: Next on the downside comes 109.50

DXY extends the pessimism at the beginning of the week.
The next support of note comes at the 109.50 region.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY drops to multi-day lows and revisits the 110.30 zone amidst further improvement in the sentiment around the risk complex on Monday.

Further weakness in the dollar appears likely for the time being. Against that, the index is expected to face initial contention at the October low at 109.53 (October 27) prior to the 9-month support line near 108.90. The latter appears reinforced by the proximity of the 100-day SMA. Above this region, the dollar’s short-term stance should remain positive.

In the longer run, DXY is expected to maintain its constructive stance while above the 200-day SMA at 104.52.

EUR/USD pops to yearly highs near 1.1770

EUR/USD rapidly reverses course and hits fresh YTD tops near 1.1780 at the end of the week. The pair’s U-turn comes on the back of the intense sell-off in the Greenback amid the generalised risk-on context.

GBP/USD climbs to four-month tops near 1.3600

GBP/USD is building on its solid weekly advance and is pushing toward the 1.3600 hurdle on Friday, or new four-month peaks. Cable’s strong move higher comes as the Greenback intensifies its decline, while auspicious results on the UK calendar also collaborate with the uptrend.

Gold picks up pace, approaches $5,000

Gold prices keep their uptrend well in place and gear up for an imminent hit to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The yellow metal’s sharp advance gathers pace amid the increasing weakness in the US Dollar and mixed US Treasury yields across the curve.
