Technical analysis of the US dollar index: stuck in the middle
The US dollar index (DXY) shows dumping fatigue after its correction caused by the landing last week. The fluctuations in the price movement are completely eroded, and even the DXY settles on Friday after recovering the initial weekly losses. Although the tensions that caused the exchange of mutual tariffs enter April, it seems that the US dollar index may be about to strengthen some of the losses of the previous week when evaluating the direction until next week.
The upward risks are rejection at 104.00 can lead to more stagnation. If the bulls can avoid this, look for a large racing towards the level of the 105.00 round, with a average simple movement for 200 days (SMA) at 105.02. Once it is broken in that area, it will present a series of axial levels, such as 105.53 and 105.89, as covers.
On the negative side, the round level of 103.00 can be considered declining in the event of the start of American revenues again, with up to 101.90 cannot be conceived if the markets surrender to their long -term property of the US dollar.
