Dollar Index Technical Analysis: H&S breakdown seen, rising T-yields could cap downside
|- The daily chart of the dollar index (DXY) shows a head-and-shoulders breakdown - a bearish reversal pattern- which indicates the rally from the February low of 88.25 has likely ended and the bears are back in a commanding position.
- However, the breakdown could be a trap as the greenback tends to perform well in the fourth quarter.
- More importantly, the 10-year treasury yield printed a four-month high of 3.06 percent and could revisit yearly high of 3.13 percent, now that it has found acceptance above key resistance of 3.02 percent (July high).
