DXY daily chart

 
 
DXY (US Dollar Index) is trading in a bull trend above the main daily simple moving averages (DSMAs). The Greenback has been quite choppy in the last two weeks. Investors will be taking their cues this Wednesday with the FOMC. 
 

DXY four-hour chart

 
DXY is trading below the 50/100 SMAs, suggesting a consolidation in the medium term. The market is ending the day just above the 98.20 support and the 200 SMA.

If bears overcome the 98.20 support, the market can decline towards the 97.60 and 97.20 swing lows.
