This also coincides with the 100 SMA dynamic resistance. The 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA, confirming that the path of least resistance is to the downside or that the selloff is more likely to continue than to reverse. Dollar weakness has been in play for the most part of the previous week, and the momentum could carry on as more issues pop up for the Trump administration.
