DXY trades at 102.101, up 0.19% on the day and 0.87% over 20 days, above its 20-day average of 101.777 and 50-day average of 100.399. Daily RSI rose to 62 from 58 five days ago, yet MACD sits below its signal line with the histogram shrinking for three straight days.
Price journey: up or down lately?
It has been rising. The index is up 0.19% on the day, 0.04% over five days and 0.87% over 20 days, holding above the 20-day average of 101.777 and the 50-day average of 100.399 within the 100.726 to 102.701 range.
Trend: which way is the bigger picture pointing?
The broader direction is up. Both the intraday and daily views are bullish, and the technical score reads bullish across short, medium and long term. The daily pivot at 101.077 is the line that keeps the bullish structure valid.
Momentum: gaining or losing strength?
Momentum is firm but lagging price. Daily RSI climbed to 62 from 58 five days ago, showing buyers gaining, but MACD remains below its signal line and the histogram has shrunk for three days, so the push is cooling.
