USD Index Price Analysis: Upside alleviated above the 55-day SMA

  • DXY regains the area above the key 100.00 hurdle on Wednesday.
  • Next on the upside comes the resistance band at 102.60/70.

DXY adds to Tuesday’s gains and surpasses the crucial 100.00 barrier on Wednesday.

A more serious bullish attempt in the index should clear the 102.60/70 band, where the provisional 55-day and 100-day SMAs converge.

If sellers regain the upper hand, the breach of the current 2023 low at 99.57 (July 14) could spark a deeper retracement to the weekly low of 97.68 (March 30 2022).

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA at 104.17, the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.
