Index Dollar Index Technical Analysis: stuck in a ditch
The American dollar index (DXY) got stuck in the range from 103.18 to 103.99. However, seeing geopolitical risk events and the FED decision this week, the breakthrough seems inevitable. Watch out for any false breaks and stick to radiant technical levels that make sense, such as a round level of 105.00 at the top and 101.90 in the minus.
The risk of growth is a rejection to 104.00, which can cause a greater slowdown. If the bulls can avoid this, look for a enormous sprint higher towards the round level of 105.00, with a 200-day straight movable average (SMA) at 105.01. After breaking this zone, constant levels, such as 105.53 and 105.89, will appear as hats.
On the other hand, the round level of 103.00 can be considered a bear in case we ponderous down again, and even 101.90 is not unthinkable if the markets are even more surrendering in their long -term American dollar farms.
