USDX (USD Index)

The index closed near daily SMA 200 and recover part of losses incurred last Friday. Currently, there is an upward attempt by the index to move above the averages. As the market takes a breather on the Brexit issue (we think extension will happen) and prepare for next week’s FOMC meeting, it seems the index might trade near the averages this week.
