Drilling to the daily chart below, the DXY fell below the 100 day MA yesterday at 109.056. The close below was the first since mid-June 2021. The next key target on the downside is the 38.2% of the move up from the January 2001 low which comes in at 105.01. The rising 200 day MA is at 104.782. That combination would give sellers cause for pause on a test going forward.
