The H1 chart shows that USDX is consolidating above the 200 SMA and the bullish outlook remains unchanged, as the index is trying to break the resistance level at 99.22.

Daily analysis of USDX for January 20, 2016

The USDX is still trading above the 200 SMA on the H1 chart, but the resistance level of 99.22 is rejecting the current price action. Also, we should note that moving average is offering dynamic support at the current stage. However, a breakout above the level of 99.22 will open the doors to test the level of 99.49. The MACD indicator is entering the neutral territory.
