Today's Scenario: - The US Dollar Index (DXY) is facing downward pressure and is currently hovering near 101.30, which is the lowest level in a week, as of early Thursday in Asia. The fall was triggered by the Federal Reserve's dovish rate hike, which resulted in the biggest decline in two months. The US Dollar Index is also being affected by concerns over a possible US default and banking crisis.

The Federal Reserve announced a 0.25% increase in the benchmark Fed rate, which matched market forecasts, and is the highest level since 2007. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reassured the market by ruling out fears of a banking rout. However, the US Dollar faced selling pressure due to a statement indicating a lack of need for further rate hikes, despite the hawkish move by the Fed.

Buy Scenario: - Currently, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is up by 0.02% at 101.24. A break above the weekly high of April 10 at 102.80 could lead to further gains towards 103.05 (monthly high on April 3) and then 103.09 (100-day Simple Moving Average). Till we do not advise to buy US Dollar Index.

Sell Scenario: - However, if the index faces selling pressure, immediate support can be found at 101.01 (weekly low on April 26) followed by 100.78 (2023 low on April 14) and finally the psychological level of 100.00. Till we do not advise to sell in US Dollar Index
