Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Charting a head-and-shoulders ahead of looming tariff deadline
- The dollar index (DXY) hit a four-day low of 94.94 in Asia and could be charting a head-and-shoulders neckline of 94.53.
- The dollar could drop to 94.53 and may find acceptance below that level on fears that the US could impose tariffs on another $200 billion of Chinese goods following the end of a public comment period today.
- However, the USD may appreciate on haven demand if the equities drop on escalating trade tensions.
