DXY - Bearish SignsThe DXY has shown several bullish pushes but has consistently failed to make significant higher highs, all forming beneath a strong resistance zone.
This behavior indicates a weakening of buyer momentum and suggests potential bearish sentiment. With the index’s current inability to breach this resistance, a downward move could be anticipated as sellers might step in, taking advantage of the weak bullish attempts.
Will the Disinflation Trend Reinforce DXY Downward Momentum?Macro theme:
- The highlight of the past week was inflation data. US Jun headline CPI slowed to 3% YoY (vs. 3.1% expected, 3.3% previous), and core
CPI was 3.3% YoY (vs. 3.4% expected and previous).
- The core service component has been declining, and rental prices may continue to fall due to delayed contract renewals.
With this inflation trend, markets expect the Fed to make its first rate cut in Sep and another this year.
- The dollar is likely to weaken, depending on the pace of monetary easing by other countries. If all major economies cut rates simultaneously, currency pairs may remain stable.
Technical:
- From a technical perspective, DXY broke its ascending channel and closed below both EMAs, shifting to bearish momentum. The index is right above its key support at 104.00.
- If DXY extends its decline below 104.00, it may aim for a nearby support area around 102.75-103.00.
- On the contrary, if 104.00 can hold the index above for a while, DXY may correct up to 104.90 before resuming its downward movement.
DXY D1 - Long from 104.000 DXY D1
This really wasn't the expectation of the market open we were anticipating. Given the Trump assassination attempt, I was expecting some more market uproar, for US stocks to fall and XAUUSD to climb. As you would expect from typical risk off markets.
The reason for this, is market uncertainty and follow up headlines. That being said, we are very early on in the trading day/week. Lots to come out this week, expecting a week full of volume and excitement. 104.000 has been the play for some time now. We simply continue this until this zone break and other trading ranges are formed.
DXY currently bearish ? (REACTION FROM 104.400)My DXY bias this week is to generally expect a greater downside. I anticipate a small retracement back up before making a new low. Given the recent significant news and the incident involving Donald Trump, we should be cautious and avoid trading at market open, as a major move or spike is likely due to its impact on the US economy.
Once the market settles, we will assess and adapt to the most probable scenarios. There's an 18-hour demand zone currently in play, and if price continues to drop, I expect a bullish reaction from the 21-hour demand zone.
R2F Weekly Analysis - 14th July 2024 (ICT Concepts)Welcome to another R2F Weekly Market Analysis using ICT Concepts along with my own discoveries. I'm going to go through various assets/markets, and give a real-time view of how I perform my analysis on the weekends. I'll give my take on what has been happening, and what I'm expecting in either the coming days, weeks, or months. Without further ado, let's get into it!
My short-term bias for DXY has switched to bearish and continues to be. We had a big displacement down during CPI. Now I am looking for a retracement on all pairs in order for a trend continuation. There should be some juicy trades coming! See my video analysis for a full breakdown of my thought-process.

The US Index technical analysis The US Dollar Index fell slightly, falling from 106 toward 104, which indicated that gold will be a strong buy and more bullish pressure in the market.
The US dollar's major 103.186 zone looks like the market will touch this level. The dollar index trend is slightly bullish from 100.68 and will make new higher highs and lows. If the price breaks the basal trend line, the market will go toward the support zone for more power.
DXY Poised for Bullish Rebound: Targets Set for 106 and Beyond The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of a potential bullish rebound as it approaches a critical ascending support line. Currently trading around 104.957, the index has maintained this uptrend since early 2024, suggesting strong underlying support.
Technical Analysis:
Support Line:
The green ascending trendline has been a key support for the DXY, providing a solid foundation for potential upward movements. As the index approaches this line, we could see a bounce back toward higher levels.
MACD (5, 8, 3):
The MACD indicator, despite showing a slight bearish divergence with the signal line crossing below the MACD line, is hovering near the zero line. This suggests that bearish momentum is weakening, and a bullish crossover could be imminent.
RSI (26, 14, 2):
The RSI indicator is currently at 42.43, indicating that the index is nearing oversold territory. Historically, RSI levels around 40 have marked the beginning of bullish reversals for the DXY. Additionally, the RSI is nearing a key support level, enhancing the likelihood of a bounce.
Bullish Targets:
First Target: 106.00
The first target for the DXY in a bullish scenario is 106.00. This level has previously acted as resistance, and breaking above it could signal further bullish momentum.
Second Target: 107.50
If the index manages to surpass the 106.00 level, the next target would be 107.50. This level represents a previous peak and would serve as a significant milestone for the bulls.
Major Target: 109.00
In a sustained bullish rally, the DXY could aim for 109.00. This major resistance level would mark a significant recovery and indicate strong bullish sentiment in the market.
Conclusion:
The DXY is currently positioned at a crucial juncture. The ascending support line, coupled with weakening bearish momentum on the MACD and an oversold RSI, suggests a potential bullish reversal. Traders should watch for a bounce from the current support levels, with targets set at 106.00, 107.50, and 109.00. Maintaining a close eye on these technical indicators will provide clearer insights into the future direction of the DXY.
DXY Seems to be going sideways with a upward biasCurrently, the DXY is touching the 25MA. Usually, price tends to bounce off this line or cross it and test the price action, determining if price should go lower or higher. Here we can see this test play out. With quite a bit of support, it's possible that price will continue to move along this sideways trend. Since the sideways movement is indeed going upward, we want to follow the trend, therefore we are long.
Furthermore, the stop loss is set exactly after some lower lows, since breaking below this level would mean that the current sideways uptrend is over and a downtrend has begun.
Will try againThe Dollar index is hitting a major resistance and losing the battle. This pair is forming an inverse HS and will try for third time in tow weeks to break out the upper vertex. I'm not sure if is goin to do it this time but price is sitting om 0.61 support zone. SL triggers if a weekly candle closes below the support.
Bitcoin Weathers the Storm: Resilience Shines Despite DollarBitcoin (BTC), the world's leading cryptocurrency, has surprised many by demonstrating resilience in the face of a strengthening US dollar. Despite a historically observed inverse relationship between the US Dollar Index (DXY) and Bitcoin, this comes. The DXY, which measures the value of the US dollar against a basket of foreign currencies, currently sits at a lofty 106, indicating a robust greenback. This level is significant, having only been surpassed for 34 trading days in the past year. Traditionally, a strong dollar weakens the appeal of dollar-denominated assets like Bitcoin, as investors seek havens in other currencies.
However, Bitcoin's current price action defies this historical trend. While not at its all-time high, Bitcoin is currently trading only around $10,000 below that peak, a testament to its continued strength in the market. Several factors may be contributing to this unexpected decoupling.
Shifting Investor Sentiment: The cryptocurrency market has matured significantly since its early days, and investor sentiment is evolving alongside it. While Bitcoin was initially seen as a speculative asset class, it's increasingly viewed as a potential hedge against inflation and traditional financial uncertainties. This shift in perception could be mitigating the negative impact of a strong dollar on Bitcoin's price.
Institutional Adoption: The influx of institutional investors, such as hedge funds and investment firms, into the cryptocurrency space is another potential factor. These institutions often have a longer-term investment horizon and may be less swayed by short-term fluctuations in the dollar's value. Their presence could be lending stability to the Bitcoin market.
Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Adjustment: The Bitcoin network is designed to adjust mining difficulty roughly every two weeks automatically. This ensures a consistent rate of new Bitcoin entering circulation, regardless of the computing power dedicated to mining. An upcoming significant decrease in mining difficulty is anticipated, which could further bolster investor confidence.
Positive Developments Within the Crypto Ecosystem: The broader cryptocurrency ecosystem is witnessing continuous innovation and development. The emergence of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and Layer-2 scaling solutions is attracting new users and capital into the space. This overall growth in the crypto ecosystem could be spilling over and positively impacting Bitcoin's price.
Uncertainties Remain: Despite the positive signs, it's important to acknowledge the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The future trajectory of the DXY and broader economic conditions will undoubtedly continue to influence Bitcoin's price. Additionally, regulatory developments and potential security breaches could pose challenges in the future.
Looking Forward: Bitcoin's resilience in the face of a strong dollar is noteworthy. While the reasons behind this decoupling are multifaceted, it suggests a maturing market with a growing pool of long-term investors. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to evolve and gain mainstream adoption, Bitcoin's position as a store of value and a potential hedge against traditional financial instruments could solidify further. However, close attention should be paid to both internal and external factors that may impact Bitcoin's price in the coming months and years.
