US Dollar flat while markets are on the lookout for the Trump vs Harris presidential debate
US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Datadriven without data
The US Dollar Index (DXY) is letting loose this Tuesday after its rally on Monday, when the DXY was able to cross to the higher level of the range it has been trading since mid-August. The light data calendar makes the US Dollar range trade for now, awaiting either more clear data to confirm what kind of interest-rate cut markets will get next week from the Fed or any geopolitical catalysts
The first resistance at 101.90 is getting ready for a second test after its rejection last week. Further up, a steep 2% uprising would be needed to get the index to 103.18. The next tranche up is a very misty one, with the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 103.40, followed by the 200-day SMA at 103.89, just ahead of the big 104.00 round level.
On the downside, 100.62 (the low from December 28) holds strong and has already made the DXY rebound four times in recent weeks. Should it break, the low from July 14, 2023, at 99.58, will be the ultimate level to look out for. Once that level gives way, early levels from 2023 are coming in near 97.73.
