• The DXY rose by more than 0.50% to 104.50 on Monday.
• The US service sector continues to show robustness, making markets disregard an interest rate cut in March.
• US Treasury yields continue to rise, boosting the Greenback.

The US Dollar (USD) measured by the DXY index rose on Monday to 104.50, its highest level since mid-November. This upswing has been attributed to the fortifying ISM Services PMI for January, giving the Dollar Index an advantageous boost via markets giving up on hopes of an interest rate cut in March.

The US Federal Reserve’s hawkish hold, justified by a robust jobs report and continuous strong growth in Q1, is making any imminent rate cuts implausible, contradicting previous market expectations. Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Powell maintains cautiousness, emphasizing the need to observe inflation’s sustained drop toward the 2% core target.

The indicators on the daily chart reflect a potential shift in momentum in the short term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing overbought conditions, which typically suggests that buyers may be losing their grip, although it does not immediately indicate a trend reversal.

However, evaluating the broader scale technical outlook paints a slightly different picture. The index now stands above the 20,100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), suggesting a strong and sustained push from the bulls. This can be interpreted as a bullish signal on a broader outlook.

The overall combination of these indicators suggests that despite the RSI nearing overbought territory, the buying momentum, backed up by the rise in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the position above the SMAs, is the more dominating force. Bulls look set to maintain control for now, especially as they continue recovering, which can often incite additional buying interest. That being said, traders should eye a potential reversal, due to indicators nearing overbought conditions.
