US Dollar Index Price Forecast: Drops to near 97.00 as bearish bias strengthens

update 2025.09.16 17:21

  • The US Dollar Index is likely to encounter initial support around the psychological 97.00 level.
  • Bearish bias prevails as the 14-day Relative Strength Index remains below the 50 level.
  • The initial barrier appears at the nine-day EMA of 97.58.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is extending its losses for the second consecutive session and trading around 97.10 during the European hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows the dollar index consolidating within the descending channel pattern, suggesting a prevailing bearish bias.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned below the 50 level, strengthening the bearish bias. Additionally, the short-term price momentum is weaker as the DXY remains below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

On the downside, the US Dollar Index may find its immediate support at the psychological level of 97.00, followed by 96.38, the lowest since February 2022, reached on July 1. Further declines would prompt the dollar index to test the lower boundary of the descending channel around 95.30.

The DXY may find its primary barrier at the nine-day EMA of 97.57. A break above this level would improve the short-term price momentum and support the dollar index to approach the descending channel's upper boundary around the psychological level of 98.00, aligned with the 50-day EMA at 98.14.
