DXY: Daily Framework Read | 2026-09-18

Price on US Dollar Index (DXY) sits near 100.24, 0.0% higher on the session and pressing the top of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near 99.38, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has firmed over the last two weeks, roughly 1.4% up, leaving the structure as a recovery attempt, back above the one-month average but still under the longer one. The levels that matter are 100.37 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 0.1% above here, with 98.60 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 1.6% down; the 102.00 and 100.00 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between 98.56 and 101.64, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is bullish: a close above 100.37 would open room toward 101.64, while losing 98.60 would put 98.00 back in view.
