As the Dollar struggles once again with a sense of direction, Crude (US Oil) has gone on to make a new high for the year and is striving to push higher.
After it had seemed likely that the US Dollar Index (DXY) would revisit 89.700, bulls were able to push the price back above 90.00. Traders have seen the DXY do this for the past 4-6 weeks as the long-term downtrend has come to a consolidated halt.
Regardless of the Dollar, Oil has a more optimistic outlook. Today’s daily candle will close as a sizable bullish hammer which is a good sign as this candle will be able to close above this year’s high. With economies continuing to reopen, fundamentals alone should take oil higher.
