US Dollar Index (DXY) remains pressured towards 96.00, around 96.17 during Tuesday’s Asian session. The greenback gauge consolidated Friday’s heavy losses the previous day but failed to negate the downside break of a two-week-old ascending trend channel. In addition to the confirmation of the bearish chart pattern, downbeat MACD signals and sustained trading below the weekly resistance line also weigh on the US Dollar Index. That said, the quote drops towards the 100-SMA level of 95.57 by the press time but any further weakness will be challenged by an ascending support line from late October, around 95.00.
