US Dollar starts mildly positive in the US CPI week
US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: More repricing to come?
The US Dollar Index (DXY) is looking for its fair value after markets devalued the Greenback a bit too far in the assumption that the Fed would have to cut bigger and quicker than the US data is actually suggesting. That repricing looks to be on its way with a stronger US Dollar this Monday and leaves a fair warning for traders and markets. The Fed determines each policy meeting on the data coming in, which means each meeting might not be what markets expect it to be.
Looking at key technical levels, 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 bounce 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.
