US Dollar Index Price Forecast: Tests nine-day EMA support near 99.00

Source Fxstreet
  • US Dollar Index may find initial resistance at the eight-week high of 99.57.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 58.57 signals bullish momentum.
  • The immediate support lies at the nine-day EMA of 99.06.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is losing ground after two days of gains and trading around 99.20 during the European hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the dollar index moves upward within the ascending channel pattern, suggesting a persistent bullish bias.

The US Dollar Index holds above the rising nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, keeping the short-term bias positive. The short-term average above the medium-term average reinforces upside control. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58.57 shows bullish momentum while remaining below the overbought threshold.

Immediate resistance aligns at the eight-week high of 99.57, recorded on December 2, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 99.70. A close through the channel barrier could extend gains toward the next cap at the seven-month high of 100.26, which was recorded on August 1.

On the downside, the US Dollar Index tests the immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 99.06, aligned with the psychological level of 99.00. A break below this level would weaken the short-term price momentum and expose the confluence support zone around the 50-day EMA at 98.80 and the lower ascending channel boundary around 98.60. Further declines would target the region around the 97.75, the lowest since October 25.
