Hi all, it's my first time posting ideas here. Please be gentle. All feedbacks are appreciated.

Given the upcoming FOMC meeting, I would love to have a discussion below about what you think is going to happen today with the DXY, and subsequently the stock & crypto markets.

December 13th, 2023


  • CPI Data release came in higher at 0.1%, rather than the forecasted 0.0%
  • As the markets are still very bullish, and this reading was considered neutral - DXY still took a small move of -0.26% to the downside
  • Note that DXY is still in a daily uptrend


The CPI readings (0.1%) came in higher than forecasted (0.0%), which could hint at the Federal Reserve announcing a rate hike during tonight’s FOMC meeting.

Furthermore, the technicals tell us DXY is still in a daily uptrend, and we could very well be seeing a consolidation before a move up before getting rejected. It’s important to stay cautious during this time and keep a close eye on tonight’s FOMC meeting, which is the final meeting of the year.

DXY has bounced off of a Local bullish 0.618 Fib retracement, drawn from July to October 2023. It’s also currently supported by a rising trendline. However, if Jerome Powell announces in the FOMC that interest rates will remain paused, we may see a breakdown from the trendline and challenge the higher low at 102.471 regions, or levels at the April Pivots.

Technical levels to watch for DXY are:
Key Support 1: Higher Low at 102.471
Key Support 2: April Pivot at 101.268 - 101.268
Key Resistance 1: Local Bearish 0.382 Fib at 104.418
Key Resistance 2 (Major): Cluster of resistances at 105.424
