Buyside liquidity needed For long term short ahead. 12/13-12/20i am looking for Sellside imbalance buy side inefficiency to get tapped into and a market structure shift for a Swing trade on dxy/usd pairs - if it doesn't give me a market structure shift and a reaction then i will wait for the buyside liquidity to be breached and to be patient. There will definitely be a scalp coming into Monday NY session. I am going to be patient and wait i will be using stop losses and wait to see how this plays out for swinging. i think it would help you guys to see my scalps because im only scalping for 15pips no more than 30pips at most if i do get a scalp i will show and post win or loss transparency is a huge thing right now

U.S. Dollar Index (DXY weekly time frame analysisAs of the weekly time TVC:DXY frame, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is trading around 106.59, which places it in an important Fibonacci retracement zone. Here’s an analysis of its current position: Current Position on the Weekly Chart (DXY at 106.59): 1. Fibonacci Levels: 50% Fibonacci Retracement: The current level at 106.59 is near the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the previous downtrend from 114.00 (2022 high) to 100.00 (2023 low). This retracement level is crucial as it often serves as a turning point. The 50% level is typically seen as a major resistance or support level. 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement: The next key level above 106.59 is 107.50, which corresponds to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. If DXY breaks through 107.50, it could signal a continuation toward the next key resistance near 108.50. 2. Support Levels: If DXY fails to hold 106.00–106.50, the next potential support levels would be at 104.50, which corresponds to the 38.2% retracement of the broader move. Outlook: Bullish Scenario: If DXY stays above 106.50 and moves toward 107.50 or breaks it, this would suggest a continuation of the upward trend, potentially targeting 108.50 or higher. Bearish Scenario: A drop below 106.00 could signal weakness, with the next significant support at 104.50. The DXY’s behavior around these Fibonacci levels will likely be key in determining the next short- to medium-term direction for the dollar. Watching the upcoming U.S. economic data releases will be essential for confirming these technical signals.

DXY - 4H Dollar Index more FallTechnical Perspective: TVC:DXY experienced two significant bullish legs in October and November on the daily time frame. However, the index started to fall sharply at the end of November, and this bearish momentum remains strong. On the 4H chart, DXY reached a key resistance zone and faced a significant rejection with notable bearish momentum, signaling the continuation of the downtrend. The current movement indicates a high likelihood of further declines, potentially to the bottom of the trading range. Many USD pairs are at critical support or resistance levels, and expected reactions from these zones could amplify downward pressure on the DXY, making it increasingly vulnerable to a substantial fall. Fundamental Perspective: In December 2024, the bearish sentiment surrounding the DXY is driven by key fundamental factors. The Federal Reserve is anticipated to implement another 25 basis point interest rate cut during its December 18 meeting, following earlier cuts in September and November. This dovish policy reflects the Fed’s commitment to supporting economic growth amidst a slightly cooling labor market and growing global uncertainties. Adding to the pressure, inflation data showed a 2.7% year-over-year increase in November, a slight uptick from 2.6% in October. Despite this, the Fed remains focused on easing monetary conditions to mitigate recession risks. Additionally, the recent U.S. presidential election has raised prospects of fiscal policy changes, including proposed tax cuts and potential tariff adjustments, which contribute to market uncertainty and weigh on the dollar. These fundamental shifts align with the bearish technical setup, suggesting that the DXY’s downtrend is likely to persist in the near term. Keep an eye on upcoming Fed announcements and inflation data for further confirmation of this trajectory.

DXY New York Session Ideas-Before CPIDXY New York Session Ideas Before CPI Price took buy side and is in a premium coming into New York. There is FVG and equal lows to drawl to. I suspect whatever direction CPI runs to could be the lows to then send it higher. That is only based on the session range. I also consider price is in a HFT FVG that it is rebalancing and that this pair is bullish, so they could send it the equal highs. I suspect that it will take out some liquidity and I could frame a trade after the dust settles.

What Can You Expect from the US CPI Report?The November US CPI inflation report (Consumer Price Index) will be widely watched today at 1:30 pm GMT. Headline CPI Inflation Forecast to Have Increased in November According to Refinitiv data, headline YY (year-on-year) CPI inflation is expected to have risen to 2.7% from 2.6% in October, marking a second consecutive month of increasing price pressures. YY core CPI inflation, which excludes energy and food components, is forecast to have risen to 3.3%, matching September and October’s reports. On a month-on-month (MM) basis, headline CPI inflation is anticipated to have increased by 0.3% from 0.2% in October, with MM core CPI inflation forecast to have reached 0.3%, similar to October’s report. As most will be aware, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) works with a dual mandate: to promote maximum employment and maintain stable prices. We saw from Friday’s US Employment Situation Report for November that while job growth modestly surpassed expectations (220,000), adding 227,000 jobs, the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked higher to 4.2% from 4.1% in October. Therefore, we were left with a somewhat mixed bag. Regarding inflation progress, it is no secret that the Fed is expecting some bumps along the road, and that the recent acceleration in recent months is not ideal. However, I do not believe recent data are sufficient to derail the easing cycle at this point. Yet, it has led some Fed officials to underline the possibility of adopting more of a cautious stance at upcoming meetings, and rightly so. The elevated inflation numbers we have seen in previous months will likely lead the Fed to kick off 2025 tentatively. This is particularly true with the election of Donald Trump, which further complicates the inflation outlook. Inflation Remains Above Fed Target Here is where we stand according to October’s overall inflation data, proving ‘sticky’ north of the Fed’s 2.0% inflation target. YY CPI inflation rose to 2.6% from 2.4% in September, YY PPI inflation (Producer Price Index) rose to 2.4% from 1.9%, and YY PCE data (Personal Consumption Expenditures) elbowed to 2.3% from 2.1%. Core YY CPI inflation remained at 3.3%, core PPI inflation rose to 3.1% from 2.9%, and core PCE data rose to 2.8% from 2.7%. So, while inflation has slowed considerably since the pandemic, inflationary pressures show evidence of stubbornness. PCE data, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, is holding just north of 2.0%, and core PCE has stalled around the 2.8% mark amid increased consumption, particularly in services. Fed Rate Cut Largely Priced in Next Week For next week’s meeting, I feel the Fed will likely cut rates unless we get hot inflation data today, which would be a catalyst for a USD bid (an in-line print will not change much). Markets are currently assigning an 85% probability that the Fed will pull the trigger again next week and reduce the target on the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.25-4.50%. You may recall that the Fed has already cut rates by 75 bps this year, with a 25 bp reduction in November and a 50 bp cut in September. Dollar Outlook Ahead of the Event According to the US Dollar Index, things are looking up for the USD ahead of the CPI release. The monthly chart shows November probed year-to-date highs of 108.07 and likely consumed a large portion of stops above neighbouring highs to pave the way north towards another layer of resistance at 109.33. Adding to the bullish vibe on the monthly scale, the daily chart saw price action trade through the upper boundary of a bullish pennant pattern drawn from the high of 108.07 and low of 106.11. This could technically underpin further buying towards at least 108.07 and, with a bit of oomph, towards monthly resistance from 109.33. Written by FP Markets Market Analyst Aaron Hill

DXY - Long ContextMy main trading principle is that the price always moves from swept liquidity levels to untouched liquidity levels. In particular case we clearly can see the following context: price swept 1D key liquidity level and left untouched level higher. But to take more statistically more probable trades we should wait for some type of lower timeframe confirmation. For me the best way to confirm higher timeframe context is structure. We can notice the red line - break of market structure (sign of strength) on key liquidity level, so there is a higher probability to see price higher at least on opposite level (marked higher). Your success is determined solely by your ability to consistently follow the same principles.

DeGRAM | DXY has reached a resistance levelDXY is above the descending channel and trend lines. The chart formed a harmonic pattern, and after it left the channel, broke the upper trend line and formed a rising top, which broke the descending structure. Now the price is above the 50% retracement level of the bearish momentum. We expect growth after consolidation above the nearest resistance level. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with like. Thanks for your support!

US CPI, WHERE WILL THE DOLLAR GO NEXTTrading Plan BASELINE C urrent Short-Term Sentiment Bias : - The market is currently focused on the upcoming US inflation report and its implications for Federal Reserve policy. - There is an 86% probability priced in for a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Fed later this month⁵. - The dollar index is steady around 106.3, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of the inflation data. SURPRISE Outcome That Will Surprise the Markets Based on the Baseline: - Lower-than-expected inflation data : This would likely lead to USD selling as markets fully price in the anticipated rate cut. A good trade in this scenario would be GBP/USD longs, leveraging the pound's net long positions and the USD's net short positions. - Higher-than-expected inflation data : This would likely result in USD strength as investors adjust their rate cut expectations. A good trade in this scenario would be EUR/USD sells, based on stronger USD institutional positioning compared to the EUR. BIGGER PICTURE Does This Outcome Change the Larger Macro-Fundamental Bias? - Lower-than-expected inflation : Reinforces the expectation of continued easing by the Fed, aligning with the current macro-fundamental bias of a dovish Fed aiming to support economic growth and achieve its 2% inflation target. - Higher-than-expected inflation : Could shift the macro-fundamental bias towards a more cautious Fed, potentially delaying further rate cuts and maintaining a tighter monetary policy stance to combat persistent inflation⁷⁸. Notes - Macro-fundamental bias: The market expects the Fed to continue easing monetary policy to support economic growth and achieve its inflation target. This expectation is based on the Fed's dual mandate and recent economic indicators. - Short-term sentiment bias: The market is currently focused on the upcoming US inflation report and its potential impact on Fed policy, as well as interest rate decision.

DXY 1W Forecast until March 2025Consolidation below 106 will last until October 2024. Breakout will happen in October peaking at 111-112 followed by a retest (mid November 2024 - January 2025). Further upward movement + correction will happen in January-March 2025 between the top of 113-114 and the bottom of 105-ish. Consecutive HH and HL will be followed by rapid increase in pace of changes: time will shrink and levels will expand. This will mark the start of hard times of Greatest Depression in March 2025 sending all markets down and making USD the king.

DXY 1W Forecast until the end of MAY 2025Up-trend will resume and last until the end of February 2025 topping no higher than 114. Current bottom is in at 105.9 Hence, it shouldn't fall below. After February a consolidation period of 1,5 months will trap price action between the bottom of 122.16 and upper level of 114.9 The spring squeezed during consolidation will provide enough energy for further upwards movement starting in the end of April 2025. This will ignite a chain of devaluation of national currencies followed by epidemic inflation across the globe. This will finish/cool-down at DXY reaching the mark of 148. New reality after May 2025?

Dollar Index ahead of US Inflation data releaseThe DXY (US Dollar Index) 4-hour chart presents a mix of technical and fundamental insights: Technical Analysis: Price Pattern: The chart suggests a breakout from a descending wedge, a potential bullish reversal pattern. However, broader bearish signals loom, as noted by a potential head-and-shoulders neckline that, if breached, could trigger intensified selling. Key Levels: Support : Immediate support lies at 105.50, followed by critical levels at 105.00, 104.60, and 104.10. Resistance: The next significant resistance is at 106.70. A sustained break above this level is needed to confirm bullish momentum. Fundamental Factors: Economic Data and Fed Meeting: Traders are in a wait-and-see mode ahead of key US CPI and PPI reports this week. Core CPI is expected to hold steady at 3.3% YoY, potentially influencing the Fed's rate guidance. The Federal Reserve meeting on December 19 is pivotal, with a 90% probability of a 25-bps rate cut to 4.25%-4.50% priced in. Market focus will also be on the dot plot guidance for 2025, which could shape expectations for future rate cuts. Market Sentiment: The current range-bound movement around 106.35 reflects cautious sentiment, with traders balancing between potential bullish technical developments and looming bearish risks from economic data and Fed expectations. Outlook: Bullish Scenario: A break and close above 106.70, supported by favorable economic data, could fuel further upside toward 107.00. Bearish Scenario: A decisive move below 105.50 or the neckline of the bearish pattern could intensify selling pressure, targeting 105.00 and beyond. Traders should closely monitor upcoming CPI and PPI reports, along with Fed guidance, as they could significantly influence the DXY's direction in the short term.
