US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Looks consolidative near-term

DXY extends the side-lined trading above 90.00 on Friday.
Further upside targets the 2021 high near 90.70.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY remains in a consolidative-mode and manages well to keep the trade above the 90.00 mark for the time being.

If bulls regain control of the sentiment on a more serious stance, then the index could re-visit the so far YTD tops in the 90.70/75 band ahead of the weekly high in the 91.00 region (December 21). Above this level, the prevailing downside pressure is expected to mitigate somewhat.

In the longer run, as long as DXY trades below the 200-day SMA, today at 94.50, the negative view is forecast to prevail.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
