The closely watched non-farm payrolls report is also due on Friday, which may prompt profit taking actions by investors who hold bearish positions in the U.S. dollar.
On a daily chart, although the index posted a rebound, it is trading within the bearish channel, indicating the bearish outlook. Currently, the index stays below the declining 20-day moving average.
Investor should beware that the relative strength index indicates a bullish divergence signal, suggesting the loss of downward momentum for the index.
As long as 94.00 acts as the resistance level, the index may reach the support level at 91.50 and 89.50 on the downside.
