US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls keep the market above the 95.00 mark after US NFP
|- The US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-day simple moving averages within a slightly ascending channel suggesting that the main trend is bullish.
- DXY has regained some of the lost ground in the last two days but the market will need to break above the 95.65 resistance level in order to reach 97.00, the 2018 high. The move up today was attributed to a better than anticipated Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) for August at 201K vs. 191K expected.
- A bear breakout below 94.43 would invalidate the bullish bias.
