Greenback May Have Space to the Downside

212
The U.S. Dollar Index jumped last month, but some traders may think it has space to the downside.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the drop last Wednesday after President Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran.

Second, the 200-day simple moving average was falling before the dip. That could reflect a longer-term downtrend.

Third, the slightly higher highs since August 1 may be viewed as a topping pattern.

Next, MACD is falling.

Finally, DXY hit a four-year low around 95.55 in January. Could traders expect a retest?
