US dollar index rebounds off 103.30
-
Momentum oscillators change direction to upside
The US dollar index found a strong support level at the 103.30 barrier, breaking the long-term descending trend line to the downside. The pair is currently rising towards the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) near 104.15 and the resistance region of 104.20-104.45.
The technical oscillators are showing some positive signs. The stochastic bounced off oversold territory, while the RSI is maintaining upside pressure but still below the 50 level.
A rally beyond the aforementioned region could take the index towards the 20- and 50-day SMAs at 104.65, ahead of 105.80.
On the other hand, a potential dive could drive traders towards the latest trough of 103.30 before challenging the 102.80 support achieved on March 21.
All in all, the US dollar index switched the short-term picture to bearish, and only a climb back above the uptrend line could resume the bullish outlook.
