Will King Dollar Reign Again?
The U.S. dollar has been in freefall since early November. But now there could signs of stabilization – at least in the near term.
The first pattern on today’s chart of the U.S. dollar index is the 101.95 level. It was a weekly closing high from March 2020 before the Federal Reserve’s dovish policies pushed the greenback lower amid the pandemic. Notice how DXY bounced near this level last May and is holding it again this week.
Second, the recent low represented a 50 percent retracement of the dollar index’s surge between May 2021 and September 2022.
Third, stochastics are trying to rebound from an oversold level. Today’s big swings also produced an outside candle.
Finally, the calendar might be a challenge with the Fed meeting two weeks away. A lot of hopes for more dovish policy have been priced in. Can it keep moving in the same direction, or will sellers look to cover before the news?
