Dollarindex
Dollar could be trapped within huge consolidationMarket corrections are tricky and in this post you can see why.
Dollar index weekly chart shows signs of large sideways consolidation (aka flat correction, range) after a strong drop marked with the orange down arrow 1.
This consolidation passed halfway as we can see all first moves are completed.
The first major yellow counter-move is done; it will be connected with the last yellow upmove through two white and two red counter-moves.
Why corrections are tricky? Because they last longer than many think, usually longer than the preceding move. Currently, first legs took the same time as the whole first orange leg down, therefore it will take almost same amount of time furthermore.
After completion, the second orange leg down could resume to hit $93 (orange leg 1 = orange leg 2) or even lower to retest the valley of Y2021 at 89.6
DXY just printed 3 red soldier pattern on the 1day chart3 red soldiers, also known as 3 black crows, is when the price action forms 3 candles in a row of similar body length with very small wicks on both ends of those candles. This usual signals that there is more downside to come. We can also see here that we have now closed to full candle bodies below the ascending channel for the first time. The measured move breakdown target from the channel is at $96. I would not be surprised if we saw a dead cat bounce back up to retest the bottom trendline of that channel as solidified resistance before the full breakdown Also of note is the 200 weekly moving average (not shown here) is currently around 100.25 so that could provide at least temporary support before it reaches the full breakdown target of the channel. *not financial advice*
DXY is under 102.00 what now?(08/20/2024)DXY finally hit our target under the 102.00 zone.
Since 1 August, DXY has dropped continuously. Right now we are looking for a reversal pattern near the 101.4-101.8 zone.
our view has been negated if the price breaks below the 100.650.
Our technical view has been shown in the chart.

DXY Big Long Momentum Ahead ?!The Dollar Index (DX1!) has been in an uptrend since the spring-summer of 2008, when it reached its lowest point.
Since October 2009 (after the first leg down of the uptrend), whenever the net positions of retailers in the CoT report turn negative (or approach zero) AND retailers reach an extreme low in the CoT index (either in the short-term OR long-term), a significant run-up typically follows. Please note that these are weekly charts.
The only exception was in June 2020, when the price continued to decline until later that year in December, which ultimately led to a substantial 2-year uptrend.
At the same time, the 5, 10, and 15-year seasonality indicators show that we are currently at the bottom, which is expected to last until the end of September, suggesting an uptrend.
Additionally, there is a weekly demand zone ahead around 101.400 - 100.320. If enough participants join in, a significant run-up is expected.
The fundamentals are in place; we just have to wait and see if the demand zone holds.
BE AWARE, this is the Dollar Index, which means all other major currencies, especially EURUSD, will be affected if this scenario plays out.
DXY Bullish this week from 101.200?The DXY is currently in an 8-hour imbalance, which could give us an initial bullish reaction. Although price has already broken structure to the downside and shown strong bearish pressure, I expect this bearish momentum to weaken. Once price reaches the 14-hour demand zone, I will be looking for a stronger bullish reaction back up.
If price retraces from either of these zones and moves back to the daily supply, I will then expect the bearish order flow for the dollar to continue. Since this is a clear bearish price structure, any upward movement will likely be short-term and temporary until the daily supply zone is mitigated.
This aligns with my analysis for GBP/USD (GU) and EUR/USD (EU), where I'm looking for short-term sells before entering buy positions. Similarly, for the dollar, I'm expecting a small upward move before it continues its decline.
Have a great trading week, everyone!
Bitcoin's Golden Opportunity Lost? Bitcoin's price has been struggling to gain traction, even as traditional safe-haven assets like gold have surged to unprecedented heights. The yellow metal recently eclipsed the $2,500 per ounce mark for the first time ever, a testament to its status as a hedge against economic uncertainty and inflation. In stark contrast, Bitcoin has been trading sideways, raising questions about its suitability as a digital gold.
The divergence between Bitcoin and gold is a stark reminder of the challenges facing the world's largest cryptocurrency. While often touted as a digital equivalent of gold, Bitcoin's price behavior has not mirrored the precious metal's performance. This disconnect has fueled skepticism among investors who once saw Bitcoin as a reliable store of value.
Gold's rally is underpinned by a confluence of factors, including geopolitical tensions, inflationary pressures, and a weakening US dollar. These conditions typically drive investors towards safe-haven assets. However, Bitcoin has failed to capitalize on this trend, suggesting that it may not be as immune to broader market forces as many had hoped.
Some analysts attribute Bitcoin's underperformance to a combination of factors, including regulatory uncertainty, the ongoing bear market, and the lack of clear catalysts for price appreciation. The cryptocurrency market has been plagued by volatility, and Bitcoin has not been immune to these fluctuations.
Despite the recent price weakness, Bitcoin remains a divisive asset. Bullish investors continue to believe in the long-term potential of the cryptocurrency, citing its underlying technology and the growing adoption of digital assets. They argue that the current downturn is a buying opportunity and that Bitcoin will eventually resume its upward trajectory.
However, skeptics contend that Bitcoin's price is largely driven by speculation and that the cryptocurrency lacks the intrinsic value of gold. They point to the fact that Bitcoin is a relatively new asset class with a limited track record, making it a risky investment.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, the relationship between Bitcoin and gold will be closely watched. If Bitcoin fails to demonstrate its ability to function as a reliable store of value, it could face challenges in attracting institutional investors and gaining widespread acceptance as a legitimate asset class.
Ultimately, the future of Bitcoin remains uncertain. While the cryptocurrency has the potential to disrupt the financial system, it must overcome significant hurdles to realize its full potential.

DXY is starting a rebound to at least 106.000The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been trading within a 19-month Channel Up pattern and this week (as well as on August 05), it almost reached its bottom (Higher Lows trend-line). This is a Double Bottom formation so far, which is a bullish pattern, that was also formed on the 1D RSI.
The last time the RSI completed this formation, we've had a bottom that gave way to a strong Bullish Leg. Most rallies/ declines within this pattern have been between a 4.00% to 5.00% range.
As a result, we turn bullish on DXY now, targeting 106.00, which is just below a potential +4.00% rise and almost on the 0.5 Fibonacci level of the Channel Up.

DXY: Recessionary Environment And Potential Upsides.Hey Traders, in tomorrow's trading session we are monitoring DXY for a buying opportunity around 102.900, DXY is trading in an uptrend and currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the trend at 102.900 support and resistance area.
I highly recommend taking a look at DXY at the beginning of every trading week if not everyday, that will help you to trade USD pairs properly and also spot the correlations with Stocks, Indices, Metals and Cryptocurrencies.
Trade safe, Joe.
DXY IdeaRegarding my BTC/USD and EUR/USD trades, we’re keeping a close eye on the Dollar Index (DXY). The recent price action has been confusing, but we are currently rejecting last Friday’s heavy selling area. This keeps us within a bearish range, and we’re anticipating a potential market shift to the downside.
If this bearish scenario unfolds, we plan to let our EUR/USD trades run over the weekend. Let’s keep observing how this plays out.
Stay focused, and let's see where the market takes us.
Dollar Strengthening and the coming election cycleUS Dollar will continue to ping pong between supply and demand during the election cycle. With other major economies like China's being Paper Tigers, the U.S. will by osmosis become stronger. As we learned years ago, nationalized tightly controlled markets don't work as well or at all. The CCP will try and buy gold and other assets to de-dollarize which will only work for so long to make the dollar look weaker than it actually is.
Trump's cabinet is largely ...less scientifically or mathematically inclined when it comes to policy. This will hurt the U.S. economy by increasing tax breaks for corpos and making it harder to maintain a healthy economy as wealth disparity increases. Despite Biden's less than stellar speaking skills, his policies reflect modern neoliberal globalist economic principles which tend to make America wealthier than other superpowers.
Overall, we should expect a hawkish trend despite the extreme propaganda machine telling you that the dollar is weakening. This is a great contrarian opportunity.
That is, if you think Biden will win the election. If not, get ready to look towards other assets like gold and Bitcoin.

Potential U.S. Recession Amidst Late Business Cycle and Interest Rate Adjustments
Dear Valued Clients,
Currently, we are closely monitoring the developments in the U.S. economy and the potential onset of a recession.
Current Economic Overview
The U.S. is in the late stage of its business cycle, characterized by slowing growth and increased economic uncertainty. Historically, this phase often precedes an economic contraction. The Federal Reserve (FED) has been proactive in managing interest rates to curb inflation and sustain economic growth. However, as the accompanying chart highlights, there are signs that interest rate cuts may be on the horizon.
Interest Rate Dynamics
Our analysis suggests that if the European Central Bank (ECB) continues to raise interest rates while the FED initiates rate cuts, we could witness a significant shift in economic momentum. The historical data depicted in the chart indicates that such divergences in interest rate policies between the ECB and the FED have often foreshadowed U.S. recessions. The blue line represents the ECB interest rates, while the yellow line denotes the FED rates.
Implications for the U.S. Economy
The late business cycle phase, coupled with potential rate cuts, heightens the risk of a recession. The red zones on the chart delineate past U.S. recessions, emphasizing the critical juncture we currently face. Should the ECB's interest rates surpass those of the U.S., the resultant economic pressures could tip the U.S. economy into a recessionary period.
Our team is here to support you in making informed decisions to safeguard and grow your investments.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.

looks like it is going to close below 104.018
The DXY has dropped 100 pips following the non-farm payroll results and is expected to close below 104.024, indicating a bearish trend. Consequently, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and GOLD are likely to swing bullish. My area of interest is around 102.959, where I anticipate a rejection due to the presence of a -0.27 Fibonacci level and an order block. This should lead to a pullback before resuming the bearish trend to create new lower lows.
Gold 4hr TF
Gold is moving higher as a result of the non-farm payroll outcome. I expect this upward trend to continue until it hits my area of interest at 2,482, where I anticipate a rejection. After this pullback, I foresee gold resuming its upward movement to achieve a new all-time high (ATH).https://www.tradingview.com/x/tuk0BSO7/
US Dollar Index (DXY) Rangebound Ahead of NFPThe US Dollar Index (DXY) saw a big selloff Wednesday as the Fed emphasized the downside risks in the labor market. Moving forward, the key level to watch will be the 4-month low near 103.65. If we see a soft jobs report, traders could increase bets on a more aggressive 50bps interest rate cut from the Fed, taking the greenback below its key support zone in the mid-103.00s. Meanwhile, a solid jobs report could alleviate some of those immediate fears and take DXY back toward the weekly highs in the upper-104.00s.

Where is the Dollar heading next ?• Dollar has been showing weakness in recent weeks as markets are expecting the FED to deliver its first rate cut in September.
• The index fell from levels near 106 to 103.60 and then corrected to 104.90 (50% Fibonacci retracement).
• If the jobs report tomorrow shows additional weakness, the Dollar should face selling pressure and break the previous support at 103.60 potentially down to 102.41.
• Breakouts are occasionally re-tested. Therefore, the index could potentially breakdown to 102.41, re-test 103.60 and then make another leg lower and so on.
• Same principle applies for upward breakouts, which should be the case if the jobs report points to increasing wages and tight labor market.
