US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: The Greenback looks firm and sets sails for 2019 highs

• The index is pushing higher and is already flirting with recent tops above 99.00 the figure.
• The continuation of the buying pressure in the buck should see the 2019 high near 99.40 re-tested in the near term. Further up is located 99.89, monthly high May 2017.
• As long as the 55-day SMA just above 98.00 holds the downside, the near term constructive bias in DXY remains unchanged.
