title: The dollar index $DXY bounced off a major long-term weekly trend line and is now pressing into key short-term resistance levels.
description: "The setup has echoes of the 2020/21 consolidation, when an extended period of range trading eventually gave way to a powerful breakout higher.\n\nImportantly, the dollar is also trading comfortably above its 50-week moving average, reinforcing the improving medium-term trend. \n\nA decisive move through the 100.5 area would strengthen the breakout case. \n\nAfter spending more than a year coiling inside the current range, a break higher risks creating a vacuum move as traders scramble to adjust to a regime shift in the dollar. \n\nSource: TME LSEG"
