USD Index Price Analysis: Another visit to the YTD high is not ruled out

• DXY now comes under some pressure below 113.00.
• The resumption of the upside could advance to the 2022 high.

DXY now adds to Wednesday’s pullback and breaks below the 113.00 mark ahead of the key US inflation figures.

In case bulls regain the initiative and the index surpasses 114.00, then the next target of note should appear at the 2002 top at 114.78 (September 28) prior to the round level at 115.00.

The prospects for extra gains in the dollar should remain unchanged as long as the index trades above the 7-month support line near 107.80.

In the longer run, DXY is expected to maintain its constructive stance while above the 200-day SMA at 103.18.
