What do US Initial Jobless Claims figures mean for the US Dollar?

The Greenback trades with decent losses in the wake of the labour market release, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) returning to the low 99.00s and leaving behind three consecutive daily advances.

The move lower in the US Dollar (USD) exclusively follows developments on the geopolitical front as investors continue to assess the likelihood of ceasefire talks between US and Iran.

Technical Analysis: Constructive view remains in place above the 200-day SMA

In the daily chart, Dollar Index Spot trades at 99.23, holding a modest bullish bias as it stays above the 55-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages clustered just under 99.00. This positioning suggests the broader uptrend remains supported, while a mid-50s Relative Strength Index hints at constructive but not overstretched momentum, and the Average Directional Index around 19.0 signals a relatively weak underlying trend.

On the topside, immediate resistance emerges at 99.50, with subsequent barriers at 100.39 and 100.64 before a more distant cap near 101.98. On the downside, initial support is provided by the short- and medium-term moving averages around 98.95–98.55, ahead of a more important horizontal floor at 97.62, while deeper cushions align at 95.56, 95.14 and 94.63.
