When analyzing the dollar index, we can see that the price has reached the upper limit of the range that has lasted for more than 7 years and for 4 consecutive weeks that the USD has been appreciating, so we cannot exclude the possibility that we may see a pullback.
In the short term, this scenario would support the recovery in the EUR/USD pair.
