The dollar looks bullishI really don't think the dollar is going lower here. We've largely been moving sideway for the past 6 months consolidating.
You'll see on the chart that price action in January fell below key support. Then after that we rallied and tested the 200 DMA 3 times and have also retested support 3 times and haven't broken through. Now that price action is well above support, I think the next big move is up through the 200DMA.
The only way the dollar is going lower is if it breaks that key support. And I think we need to see a higher dollar before that support is broken.
I bought a lot of $30 UUP calls for September to express this view.

DXY LONG PROJECTIONThe DXY (Dollar Index) recently experienced a false breakout below the daily support level. However, the price quickly reversed and re-entered the support area, signaling a potential accumulation of buying pressure. As a result, there has been a retracement back towards the buying zone. Anticipating a bullish scenario, we expect the DXY to rally upwards, targeting the formation of a trend line.
BluetonaFX - DXY US Dollar Fragile After FOMCHi Traders!
The US dollar is showing signs of fragility after the expected 25 basis point interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve and the FOMC press conference today due to the ongoing high inflation issues in the US economy.
This was reflected in the price action on the DXY 1D chart. The market hit the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 101.590 to continue the bearish impulsive wave, and the US dollar index might continue down and go back under the 100 level to target the support level at 99.578.
There is further data out of the US tomorrow, and if we get further bad news from the US tomorrow, we might possibly get the break below 100.
Please do not forget to like, comment, and follow, as your support greatly helps.
We appreciate your support.

dxy after federal Fund ratehi dear trader my road map for dollar curency index ...
One more Fed rate hike at least and a narrowly softer dollar outlook
The forthcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting may be a relatively subdued gathering, leaving exciting loose ends for September. Meanwhile, the dollar could trade around current ranges with a modest softening bias over the rest of the year.
July FOMC meeting
The FOMC meets on 25-26 July and a 25-basis point hike in the Fed Funds rate is inevitable. The ‘skip’ from the last meeting foreshadowed a hike in July – and potentially another in September. Markets unanimously expect a July hike and Federal Reserve officials haven’t pushed back.
Since the June FOMC meeting, and in view of favourable inflation prints and softer employment data, markets no longer anticipate a September hike. While that may prove right, they might be getting ahead of themselves. One month’s data doesn’t make a trend. Further, core inflation remains too high for the Fed and labour markets are still quite resilient. Expectations of a US recession or hard landing continue to fade – ‘soft landing’ is the buzzword of the day.
More data will come in after the July FOMC meeting and data dependence will shape the September decision. Perhaps the Jackson Hole symposium in August will shed some light on Fed thinking.
The key challenge for the July meeting will be communications. Regardless of the September outlook, the Fed has won its months-long struggle, convincing markets that, at least for now, the FOMC is on hold for the rest of 2023. The July meeting should be wary of any statements that might imperil this victory.
Foreign exchange outlook
Predicting exchange rates is a fool’s errand. With that disclaimer, what is the dollar’s outlook for the remainder of the year?
The dollar is off its peak from last autumn, but it remains strong (Figure 1). The dollar’s upside may be limited as the Fed’s rate hiking cycle is nearing an end. Improving inflation may inject a downward bias to note and bond yields. However, the downside may also be limited given anticipation that the FFR, after peaking, will be on hold for the rest of 2023 and services price will be sticky.

A soft landing scenario would comport with muted dollar sentiment and modest volatility, unlike a sharp risk-off or risk-on environment. Decent dollar selling could emerge when markets perceive with certainty the Fed will start embarking on rate cuts, but that isn’t priced in at this juncture until early next year.
The base case faces two-sided risks. If US inflation comes down more sharply than anticipated, major financial instability emerges or the economy sharply stagnates, the Fed could begin cutting rates earlier than expected, yields could fall and the dollar tumble. On the upside, more inflation persistence or greater than expected vigour in the US economy could sustain demand, as could a heightening in geopolitical risks.
Of course, the dollar will also be impacted by what is happening abroad.
Markets are discounting two more European Central Bank hikes this year – though there is increased debate about a September hike. The euro area economy has already stagnated and the outlook is for continued weakness. Absent further inflationary impulse, this weakness will curb the ECB’s hiking appetite and limit euro appreciation.
The Japanese yen’s course will be sensitive to finance ministry concerns about yen weakness and yield curve control policy expectations. Further yen weakness will be limited by market concerns over official jawboning or intervention. Meanwhile, markets expected a quick abandonment of YCC after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda stepped down earlier this year, but his successor Kazuo Ueda has taken a cautious approach. However, YCC adjustment seems more a question of when than if. Altering YCC could significantly boost the yen.
There may be modest renminbi upside against the dollar. It’s a managed currency, and opaquely so. It has depreciated against the dollar by some 4% this year, mainly reflecting divergent monetary policy stances in the US and China. Capital inflow to China has sharply ebbed over the last year. The authorities are resisting depreciation, though not through formal People’s Bank of China intervention, and increasingly signalling stronger aversion to renminbi weakness. .
The Chinese growth surge expected after reopening has fallen short of expectations given strong headwinds. The PBoC has only run slightly more accommodative policies and the fiscal authorities have so far eschewed significant stimulus given the economy’s high indebtedness. The renminbi will remain soft overall, unless authorities embark unexpectedly on stepped up fiscal stimulus – a topic increasingly debated.
With the UK facing continued inflation challenges, the Bank of England may need to stick with relatively high rates, undergirding sterling.
One quarter of the dollar’s trade-weighted basket consists of the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar. Mexico moved preemptively to raise interest rates ahead of the Fed, hiking by nearly six percentage points since early 2022, and Banco de México is holding rates high, given elevated inflation. The peso took off this year, rising by 16%. Further upside is limited. The Canadian dollar through ups and downs has been fairly flat this year.
The picture facing emerging market currencies varies. But good performers that raised policy rates preemptively relative to the Fed, such as Brazil, have experienced good capital inflows this year.
Putting it all together, the dollar may trade narrowly with a softening bias for the rest of 2023. Next year may prove more interesting.

DXY dollar strength index DailyLooking at the DXY from a higher time frame perspective we can see a solid rejection off of the 99.6 level which dates back to Feb'20, May'20 and May'22, which is the reason for a solid rejection here. As we move back into the 101-102 range we're seeing a lot of chop and indecision in the past.
As always, a messy range can be bypassed by strong volume, which is what we can expect from high imapct news events when looking at what news events are on the horizon.

DXY Daily Elliott wave countOur focus is to the downside for five waves to complete a zigzag correction, wave C of wave 2.
I am expecting some pullback into the crypto market as the price on DXY is still into an up move for a possible wave 2 of this C wave and than we should continue to the upside so chances to buy at lower prices are possible.
Future updates will be posted as updates to this count, don`t miss them!!
Good luck!

Will US Dollar fall to 2021 lows? The US dollar has recently fallen below its Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 100, an essential technical indicator for many traders.
Based on this recent movement, there is a growing concern among experts that the US dollar could potentially drop to its 2021 lows. This noteworthy development requires careful consideration, particularly for those relying heavily on the US dollar in their trading strategies.
Considering the US dollar's potential downward trajectory, I encourage you to explore the possibility of diversifying your currency holdings. Holding other foreign currencies could prove beneficial, as they may not be as susceptible to the impending drop in the US dollar's value.
It is essential to approach this situation cautiously and conduct thorough research before making decisions. Analyze the trends, consult with fellow traders, and seek advice from trusted sources to ensure you are well informed about the potential risks and rewards.
In light of these circumstances, I urge you to consider the following call to action:
1. Evaluate your current currency portfolio: Assess how much your trading strategy relies on the US dollar and consider diversifying your holdings to include other foreign currencies.
2. Stay updated on market trends: Regularly monitor the market and closely monitor the US dollar's performance. This will enable you to make informed decisions and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
3. Seek expert advice: Consult with experienced traders or financial advisors specializing in forex trading. Their insights and recommendations can provide valuable guidance during uncertain times.
Remember, the purpose of this email is not to instill panic but to bring your attention to a potential market development that could impact your trading decisions. By remaining cautious and proactive, you can better navigate the volatile currency market and potentially mitigate potential losses.
DXY D1 - Long SignalDXY D1
Really flat day yesterday for the two pairs that we posted on DXY and BTCUSD. We are pretty much sat there or there abouts where we had made annotations yesterday, with the slight exception of adjusted stops to allow for yesterdays lows on BTCUSD.
Trading slightly below that 100.00 price. But still within our support region. Waiting patiently to see a breakout here on DXY to the downside. Or a bounce to trigger this relief rally for the dollar.
Bullish Pattern for DXYDXY ranging in a bullish flag pattern. DXY will enter to bull cycle if it moves to upper levels. DXY needs to close 50MA in daily line and it should be established above 50, 200 MA.
