The start of a new month brings new opportunities and heading into the May open the DXY finds itself just off the 2016 lows with immediate support seen at the 2016 open at 98.69. A break below this threshold shifts the focus lower in the index targeting 97.87 & the 100% extension at 97.67. Resistance & near-term bearish invalidation remains steady at 99.43/53.
