Technical Outlook: In last month’s USD Short-term Outlook, we noted that DXY was, “testing support at the monthly range lows- looking for a reaction off this mark in the days ahead. From a trading standpoint, rallies should be limited to 109 IF price is heading for a deeper correction here with a break below the median-line needed to fuel the next major leg of the decline.”

The index broke lower two-days later with the losses extending more than 2.9% off the yearly high to register an intraday low at 106.97. A rebound into the February-open failed to mount the 109-handle with the subsequent reversal breaking the monthly opening-range lows yesterday- threat for a deeper decline in the greenback.

Notes: A closer look at USD price action shows the index trading within the confines of a descending pitchfork with the decline now probing confluent support here near the 25% parallel / 2023 high-day close (HDC) / January low at around the 107-handle. Subsequent support rests just lower at the 100% extension of the January decline at 106.67 and 106.10/35- a region defined by the 2023 high-week close and the 38.2% retracement of the September advance.Look for a larger reaction there IF reached with a break / close below needed to suggest a more significant high was registered last month / larger trend reversal is underway.

Initial resistance is eyed at 107.92-108.06 and is backed closely by the February / January monthly opens at 108.50/52- rallies would nee to be limited to this threshold IF price is heading lower on this stretch with broader bearish invalidation se to he 61.8% retracement of the 2022 decline at 108.97.

Bottom line: A break of the February opening-range threatens further loses here for the US Dollar with confluent uptrend support seen just lower. From at trading standpoint, look to reduce portions of short-exposure / lower protective stops on a stretch towards 106- rallies should be limited to the median-line (~107.70s) IF price is heading lower on this move with close below the lower parallel needed to threaten the next major leg of the decline- watch the weekly closes here.
