US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Extra gains line up above 92.50

DXY resumes the (small) upside following Tuesday’s retracement.
Next on the upside comes in the YTD peaks in the mid-92.00s.

DXY appears to have regained the smile on Wednesday. The rejection from the 92.50 area (March 9) seems to have met decent contention in the 92.00 neighbourhood for the time being.

The continuation of the uptrend looks likely despite the ongoing correction, which is also seem justified on the recent overbought conditions of the index. A surpass of YTD tops around 92.50 should put the 200-day SMA at 92.85 back on the radar.

A break above the latter should shift the outlook to a more constructive one and allow for extra gains to, initially, the November 2020 highs near 94.30 (November 2).

EUR/USD onsolidates around mid-1.1800s as traders keenly await FOMC Minutes

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's goodish rebound from the 1.1800 neighborhood, or a one-and-a-half-week low, and consolidates in a narrow band during the Asian session on Wednesday. Spot prices currently trade just below mid-1.1800s, nearly unchanged for the day.

GBP/USD seems vulnerable near mid-1.3500s; UK CPI/FOMC Minutes awaited

The GBP/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the previous day's late rebound from an over one-week low – levels below the 1.3500 psychological mark – and trades with a negative bias for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. The downside, however, remains cushioned as investors seem reluctant to place aggressive directional bets ahead of the release of the latest UK consumer inflation figures and FOMC Minutes.

Gold regains positive traction after Tuesday's over 2% slump as traders await FOMC Minutes

Gold gains some positive traction during the Asian session on Wednesday and recovers a part of the previous day's heavy losses more than 2%, to the $4,843-4,842 region or a nearly two-week low. The intraday move higher could be attributed to repositioning trade ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes.
