Key Takeaways 

• Downward inflation in the US: Yesterday, the dollar index closed the day around 0.52% lower at 104.46, buoyed by bearish CPI data which cements the course for rate cut sooner than later.

Technical Analysis 

Daily Chart Insights 

• Stochastic Oscillator: Both signal lines fail to provide any solid signal, suggesting a possible halt in its recent downtrend. We may expect the dollar index to stage a rebound if bullish momentum reigns.  

• Support and resistance: The index fell through both 33-MA (red) and 65-MA (black) lines while currently hovers around the nearest support level. Evident from its recent price action, the lack of downward push may help the index to recover its losses if a rebound succeeds.  

H1 Chart Insights 

• Stochastic Oscillator: The momentum slows down and flattens, suggesting possibility of a halt in its upside bias. It is worth noting that the index may enters consolidation phase until a clear signal has been formed.  

• Support and resistance: The index forms bearish engulfing pattern at around 104, suggesting possibility of continuation in bearish bias. If the index closes below the nearest support level, it will reinforce the possibility of downward extension in the near-term.
