US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: If CPI was unable to do it
The US Dollar Index (DXY) might be posting a third day in the green this week, but traders will not be applauding the move after seeing that the CPI print was rather unable to really move the needle for the DXY. With a firm rejection even ahead of the 55-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the question now is what will fuel the US Dollar for a multiple-day rally seeing several economic indicators abate further.
On the upside, the first reclaiming ground is at 103.34, the 55-day SMA, and at the 200-day SMA near 103.71. Once broken through, the 100-day SMA is popping up at 103.72, so a bit of a double cap in that region. Depending on the catalyst that pushes the DXY upwards, 104.96 remains the key level on the topside.
The DXY was unable to even test or challenge the 55-day SMA after the CPI print. More downside looks inevitable with 102.00 up next, which bears some pivotal relevance. Once through there, the road is open for another leg lower to 100.61, the low of 2023
