DXY: USD Index Heading Towards Daily Channel Limit; Levels & Targets – SocGen

Societe Generale FX Strategy Research notes that the USD Index (DXY) has been undergoing a break below the upward trend drawn since 2014 (98.50/98.85) and a down slanting trend from December.

Such a pattern, according to SocGen, denotes that the down move is likely to extend.

"The Index should drift towards the daily channel limit at 96.45, as well as the 61.8% retracement from May 2016. This will be a prominent support," SocGen projects.

On the upside, SocGen think that 98.50/85 should cap near-term bounces.

DXY is trading circa as 97.32 as of writing.
