USD struggles amid market interventions
"The DXY needs to break a support level of 97.2 to extend its decline to the floor of the 96.2-100.5 range set since mid-2025."
"USD/CAD plunged 1.6% to 1.37 last week, near a significant trendline support around 1.3660."
"However, there has been no confirmation of actual intervention, which could limit downside follow-through in USD/JPY, unless it pushes decisively below December’s low of 154.35 and the 100-day moving average support level at 153.75."
