Price Analysis of the US Dollar Index: DXY Retreats from 104.00, Rising Wedge Anticipated

During Thursday's Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fails to continue the previous two days' upward momentum, trading on the defensive around 103.95.

In doing so, the dollar index remains near the 20-year high reached earlier in the week, but for the first time in three days, the daily decline is recorded.

In addition to highlighting a 12-day-old rising wedge bearish pattern surrounding the multi-day top, the DXY's most recent decline also reveals a multi-day top-adjacent rising wedge formation. The slow RSI also highlights the significance of the chart pattern.

However, a decisive breach below 102.90 is required to validate the potential decline to 101.30.

During the fall, the 100-SMA and monthly low between 102.65 and 102.35 will serve as intermediate stops.

Until the quote continues below the indicated wedge's resistance line, approximately 104.30 as of press time, a recovery appears elusive.

After that, a slow climb to the September 2002 high of 109.80 cannot be ruled out.
