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.
