The US Dollar Index (DXY) gains traction to near 106.65 during the early European session on Thursday. The cautious mood amid the tariff uncertainty from US President Donald Trump could lift the Greenback.
However, the weaker US economic data have prompted traders to raise bets for interest rate cuts, now seeing two quarter-point reductions this year, with the first likely in July and the next as early as October. This, in turn, might cap the upside for the DXY.
According to the 4-hour chart, the DXY keeps the bearish vibe as the price remains capped below the key 100-period EMA Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Nonetheless, further consolidation cannot be ruled out as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) crosses above the midline near 53.35.
The lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 106.20 acts as an initial support level for the index. A decisive break below the mentioned level could expose 105.80, the low of December 9. Extended losses could see a drop to 105.41, the low of December 6.
On the upside, the first upside barrier for the DXY emerges at 106.80, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band. Sustained bullish momentum above this level could pave the way to the 107.00-107.10 region, the psychological level and the 100-EMA EMA. The next hurdle to watch is 107.38, the high of February 19.
