That's the long-term trend chart for the decade and it remains virtually unchanged with a slight uptick to $79 (note other similar short-term spikes). The entire point being the DXY is a weighted basket that took that hit at a time the euro (another complicated weighted basket) was also taking a hit, aka, a deflationary forex market globally. The second point being oil would be at roughly $60-a-barrel had the dollar held value of 2001 levels, which you can see, it has not. The global peg for oil is USD$.
