Blake Morrow’s Chart of The Day – Forecast DXY

Forecast DXY
The DXY (US Dollar Index) has maintained its bullish stance as the US Dollar has caught a safe haven bid against some currencies amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and many are wondering if it can last? I think we should be asking ourselves “why isn’t the USD much higher?” You’d think with some major indexes in the US off over 15% you’d think that the US Dollar would be higher. And with EURUSD trading to new 2022 lows today, you would think the DXY would be nearing the 100 level. There are many currencies holding up better than the EUR, namely the AUD, NZD, NOK and JPY and with yields coming down and aggressive rate hike expectations also slipping, the USD may be on the cusp of a move back towards the 96.00 level. Below there an ascending trend line from mid 2021 resides and a break of this trend line would put the 200dma back in view.
On any rally, the 98.05 level would be the 127% extension of the last move lower in February, which is in the resistance zone which was important in early 2020.
