DXY Technical Analysis: Steady below 100-hour SMA ahead of FOMC

   •  The index, over the past one week, has been oscillating within a broader trading range, forming a rectangular chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.

   •  On the said chart, the index now seemed to find support near a short-term ascending trend-line, albeit the uptick remained capped at 100-hour SMA.

   •  The subdued/range-bound price action clearly seems to indicate a wait and watch approach ahead of the key event risk - the latest FOMC decision. 

   •  Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break through the near-term trading range before positioning for the near-term trajectory.
