The dollar index it is dropping 0.05% on Tuesday and testing the 96.00 zone where the weekly lows are. The DXY is correcting lower, for now, on a limited basis.

Limited below 1.1350

The bullish tone of the EUR / USD is still not enough, first to affirm above 1.1330 and then to go towards 1.1350. The increases of the euro are expected to remain weak, as long as it does not manage to exceed 1.1350, which is the key level.

From the current level, supports are seen at 1.1315 and below at the 1.1300 zone, where the bottom of the current range is. A confirmation at lower levels would point to further weakness, with a possible test at the 1.1260 level.
