Dollar under pressure, is the bear trend gonna end soon?President Trump's aggressive tariff implementations, particularly on electronics and critical imports, have introduced volatility into U.S. markets. These measures have led to decreased investor confidence and capital outflows from U.S. assets, contributing to the dollar's weakness.
There's growing concern among global investors about the reliability of U.S. economic policies. A Bank of America survey indicated record pessimism towards U.S. assets, with over 60% of fund managers anticipating further depreciation of the dollar.
The Trump administration's economic approach, informally dubbed the "Mar-a-Lago Accord," aims to deliberately weaken the dollar to boost U.S. exports and reduce trade deficits. While this strategy seeks to make American goods more competitive, it risks destabilizing global financial markets and undermining the dollar's reserve currency status.
Differences in monetary policies between the U.S. and other major economies have widened. While the Federal Reserve has been cautious with rate cuts, other central banks, like the European Central Bank, have been more aggressive, making their currencies more attractive to investors.
In all these Chaos can dollar bounce back?
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is trading around 99.23—down about 1.5% over the past week and roughly 4% lower so far in April, its worst monthly performance since mid‑2022
That 99.0–99.5 zone lines up with both the April swing lows and the lower Bollinger Band on the daily chart—classic territory where “oversold” signals often lead to a rebound.
The 14‑day RSI is hovering near 30, the canonical “oversold” threshold where prior rallies have begun
Markets now price in three rate cuts by year‑end, a sharp turn from December’s hawkish Fed rhetoric. If the Fed leans dovish in the May minutes, yield differentials could narrow—supporting a dollar bounce
Heightened trade‑war uncertainty (tariffs on critical minerals, spiking gold) often drives investors back into dollars as a haven—another buffer at current lows.
Technically the chart is still bullish on daily and certainly near the support zone, both scenario are in play for now, if it continues to drop sharply towards 96 then it may totally reverse back to 107.
Considering Dollar bottom is near we can plan a swing trade with a huge potential, with awesome risk and reward.
Good luck trade safe.
USDX trade ideas
DOLLAR INDEXThe Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance in April 2025 is characterized by a cautious, data-dependent approach amid mixed economic signals and heightened uncertainty, particularly due to the impact of tariffs and trade tensions.
Key Points on the Fed’s Monetary Policy This Month
Interest Rates: The Fed has maintained the federal funds target range at 4.25% to 4.50%, holding steady without changes in April. The Committee is carefully assessing incoming data before considering any adjustments to rates.
Balance Sheet Reduction: Starting in April, the Fed slowed the pace of its balance sheet runoff by reducing the monthly cap on Treasury securities redemptions from $25 billion to $5 billion, while maintaining the cap on agency debt and mortgage-backed securities at $35 billion. This move smooths the transition from abundant reserves but does not signal a change in the overall policy stance.
Economic Outlook and Risks:
The economy continues to expand modestly with a solid labor market, but inflation remains somewhat elevated above the 2% target.
The Fed acknowledges increased uncertainty due to tariffs, which may simultaneously slow growth and push inflation higher, creating a challenging policy environment. Chair Jerome Powell highlighted the potential conflict between the Fed’s dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability in this context.
The Fed is prepared to adjust policy as appropriate, depending on how economic data evolve, but currently prefers to "stand pat" and await clearer signals on the economy’s response to tariffs and other factors.
Inflation and Employment: Inflation is gradually declining but remains above target. The labor market is solid but expected to soften somewhat due to slower growth and tariff effects, with unemployment forecasted to rise modestly over the next year.
Forward Guidance: The Fed’s communication emphasizes patience and data dependency, with the next FOMC meeting scheduled for May 6-7, where further policy decisions will be evaluated based on new economic information.
Summary
Aspect Current Fed Stance (April 2025)
Federal Funds Rate Held steady at 4.25%–4.50%
Balance Sheet Reduction Slowed Treasury runoff to $5B/month
Inflation Elevated but gradually declining
Labor Market Solid but expected to soften
Tariff Impact Significant uncertainty; potential stagflation risk
Policy Outlook Patient, data-dependent; no immediate rate changes
Next FOMC Meeting May 6-7, 2025
In essence, the Fed is maintaining a modestly restrictive monetary policy stance this month, balancing between controlling inflation and supporting employment amid trade-related uncertainties. It is closely monitoring economic data before making further moves, signaling readiness to adjust policy if risks to growth or inflation intensify.

April 20 Analysis
Monday created the weeks low which was then taken on Wednesday.
Price created the high on Tuesday.
Thursday Price in a deep discount from previous day and taking sell side liquidity. Price takes minor buy side and rebalances previous days inefficient delivered price, price closes in a consolidation in a discount.
*Last weeks highlight Price took key lows from July 2023 and rebalanced a BISI from April 2022.
April 20 week ahead
Bias is bear
I would not be surprised if price stays in a tight trading range this week. Price is in a deep discount. I could see Price seek higher prices in the beginning of the week. My longer term idea is for Price to take the noted key equal lows and rebalance 4 hour FVG before I suspect for the DXY will seasonal shift to seeking higher prices.

Dollar Index - Further Capitulation On the Horizon?It's like a gaping wound that refuses to heal, spewing blood everywhere!
Dollar index has been falling like a ton of bricks from the beginning of this year with little to no signs of retracing back into equilibrium and the question to ask yourself is.... will the 90-day ban restore dollar index above the 100 mark?
Or will be continue to see risk on scenarios?
Dxy monthly analysis The dollar will fall to unprecedented levels due to several stupid policies, in addition to the US debt disaster. This is a medium- and long-term analysis using Elliott Waves, in addition to expected liquidity zones. Finally, I would like to ask: Is this the end of the dollar with China's increasing rise, or is this the beginning of preparations and selling by the major players in preparation for World War III, which will occur in 2027 or perhaps sooner?
DXY: Local Bullish Bias! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DXY together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break above the current local range around 99.390 will confirm the new direction upwards with the target being the next key level of 99.627 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
Altseason and a Weak Dollar — Will History Repeat in 2025?The altseason of 2017 started at the same time as the U.S. dollar index (DXY) began to fall. This likely helped bring more money into the crypto market. In 2020–2021, a similar thing happened: the falling dollar was followed by a strong rise in altcoins. But that time, altseason started closer to the end of the dollar’s decline.
A weaker dollar makes risky assets like crypto more attractive. In April 2020, the total crypto market cap was around $218 billion. Today, it’s about $2.63 trillion — around 12 times bigger.
However, to start a new altseason now, the market may need a lot more cheap money than in 2020. I’m not sure if the 2025 altseason can be as strong as in the past.
Now it seems that the only way to repeat that success is if a big part of the capital moves from Bitcoin into altcoins. This would need a sharp drop in Bitcoin dominance. But this brings new questions. After the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, the ownership structure has changed. Many people now own Bitcoin through investment funds, not directly. These funds may not be very excited to invest in altcoins.
What do you think about it? Share your opinion in the comments.
USD index bearish trendThe analyst expects the correction to end when the USDX reaches a value of 101.800. This is the predicted target for the end of the "C" wave of the correction. Once the index hits 101.800 (according to this analysis), the correction is expected to be complete, and the USDX may then resume its previous (likely upward) trend.
In short: The USDX is expected to fall to 101.800 to finish a temporary price dip (correction) that's shaped like an ABC pattern.
DXY Is Bullish! Buy!
Take a look at our analysis for DXY.
Time Frame: 9h
Current Trend: Bullish
Sentiment: Oversold (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bullish
The market is on a crucial zone of demand 99.408.
The oversold market condition in a combination with key structure gives us a relatively strong bullish signal with goal 101.388 level.
P.S
Please, note that an oversold/overbought condition can last for a long time, and therefore being oversold/overbought doesn't mean a price rally will come soon, or at all.

Global Market Overview. Part 1: USDXThe Dollar Index is drifting at the key 99.5 mark. This strategic support level, which has held since early 2024, is on the verge of collapsing.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about the strength of the dollar. What’s at stake is the monetary sovereignty of the United States, caught between inflation, politics, and election-season hysteria.
And make no mistake — this has nothing to do with technical analysis. What we’re witnessing is a fundamental fire, and Donald Trump and his administration are fanning the flames.
Powell: “Rates remain unchanged.” But for how long?
Just days ago, Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered what seemed to be a firm message:
“We are in a wait-and-see mode. Cutting rates prematurely could do harm.”
“If inflation accelerates, more difficult decisions may follow.”
On the surface — classic hawkish rhetoric. But in reality, this isn’t resolve.
It’s a delay tactic. Even Powell admits:
“The labor market is walking a fine line.”
“Economic growth weakened in Q1.”
“Business sentiment is deteriorating.”
“Tariff policy could lead to stagflation.”
“Political pressure is mounting by the week.”
The Fed says, “It’s too early to cut rates.”
But the market hears something entirely different: “We’re getting close.”
Trump applies pressure
Ahead of the elections, Trump declares:
“If we don’t cut rates now, we’ll lose to China, Europe, and our own markets.”
This isn’t just campaign rhetoric. It’s an open challenge to the Fed’s independence.
And history already tells us what happens when Trump applies pressure — 2019 rate cuts proved he can break through Powell’s defenses.
What the charts are saying
The Dollar Index (USDX) is locked in a persistent downward channel.
The 103.0 support zone has been broken
The 101.17 level remains the final significant support
99.5 is already being tested as a potential sell-off trigger
Below that — only air until 98.0 and 97.5
The technical setup confirms a fundamental truth:
The market no longer believes in the dollar’s strength.
What if the Fed actually cuts rates?
If the Fed moves to cut, USDX will break below 99 and enter a systemic phase of weakening.
Capital will flow into gold (as if it hasn’t already gone far enough), oil, crypto, and high-yield emerging markets.
The United States will lose its competitive edge in monetary policy,
and the dollar will slowly cease to function as the global anchor it once was.
Powell can talk tough all he wants. The market is no longer listening.
The Dollar Index isn’t dropping because rates are already cut — it’s falling because everyone knows it’s just a matter of time.
U.S. monetary policy has lost the initiative, and market expectations have taken over.
Today, the Fed rate is no longer a tool of control. It’s a signal of approaching capitulation.
The question is no longer “Can we hold 99.5?”
The real question is: “What happens after it breaks?”
Manipulation or strategy? Black swans on a leash
Powell’s rate policy, DXY charts, inflation forecasts — all of it loses clarity when the dominant market force is no longer economics, but politics.
We live in an era where markets break not from bad data, but from tweets, briefings, and backroom deals — moves that only reveal themselves in the charts after the fact.
That’s what makes the current cycle the most toxic in the last 15 years.
Markets aren’t just volatile — they’ve become irrational.
Trade war: scalpel in a surgeon’s hand or a bat in a brawler’s grip?
Tariffs aren’t new.
But in Trump’s hands, they’ve evolved — from macroeconomic tools to blunt political weapons.
He uses them as battering rams — to force concessions, corner opponents, and set up ideal conditions for insider gains.
The market reacts exactly as you’d expect:
Tariffs announced — indexes fall
Panic ensues — capital flees into dollars and gold
Within 48 hours — videos surface of Trump and his allies joking about the “hundreds of billions” they made during the crash
This isn’t conspiracy.
It’s already triggered official investigations, but everyone knows: the odds of accountability are near zero.
And that’s the biggest risk for fundamental analysis today:
It’s powerless against narratives crafted behind closed doors.
So who’s really running the market?
Trump is deliberately deflating the bubble. Loudly. Dramatically. On camera.
But the goal isn’t destruction. It’s control.
And while Powell fears making a mistake, Trump fears only one thing — losing control of the narrative.
The market is no longer a field for rational actors.
It has become a battlefield, where officials already understand:
You can control more than just money through the market — you can shape public consciousness.
How not to lose your footing in this chaos?
We’ll break it down in the next part of the Global Market Overview. Stay tuned.
