US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: The greenback remains supported by the 200-day SMA and the resistance line

• DXY is trading a tad below recent tops in the boundaries of 96.90, challenging the critical support at the 200-day SM in the 96.60 region.
• This significant area of contention is also reinforced by the multi-month resistance line, today at 96.73.
• Immediately above emerges the 100-day SMA at 97.08 ahead of the 55-day SMA at 97.31, considered interim hurdles and the last defence of a test of June tops near 97.80.
