US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: DXY OUTLOOK IN LIMBO

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is currently bouncing from around a level that began as important back in March 2020. The low (94.67) during the initial days of the pandemic has been in play on two occasions since, with the most recent occurrence coming around the October high.

The question right now is whether short-term strength is a bounce or the beginning of a resumption of the uptrend from the May low. The trend-line from that low was recently broken, but current strength is pushing price back above. A full recapture of broken trend support could have the upward trend resume, however, confidence is still low on that scenario.

At the moment the DXY is finding difficulty in climbing above resistance via the range that developed from late November until last week. This could create a short-term ceiling around 95.55 even if the index is to continue pushing onward.

As you can see, based on trend direction and levels there is a bit of crosswinds to contend with that make getting any conviction difficult. The low (94.62) from last week at the March 2020 level makes for an interesting spot of support given it is also below the trend-line from May.

A break below that level would be seen as a materially bearish event. A hold of the level for now really only suggests the bias is neutral at this juncture, not necessarily bullish. Will wait for further developments before drawing any concrete conclusions.

    • I've been exploring the world of play-to-earn gaming recently, looking for something that's not just about endless grinding but actually offers a fun and rewarding experience. OGC really stood out to me because it combines gaming with a sense of community in a unique way. OGC isn't just a game; it's a platform where you can play, earn, and even help shape its future. You're not just a player; you're part of a community with a voice. The idea of earning crypto while playing games is exciting, but what makes OGC special is its focus on community involvement. Your feedback can directly influence the development of the game, which is a big deal. I've also heard that the OGC token is available for pre-market trading on Bitget. While I'm still getting to know the platform and its features, it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Has anyone else tried OGC? What has your experience been like? I'd love to hear your thoughts and any tips you might have.
