DXY trade ideas
DXY: Absolute Price Collapse Ahead! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DXY together☺️
The in-trend continuation seems likely as the current long-term trend appears to be strong, and price is holding below a key level of 100.450 So a bearish continuation seems plausible, targeting the next low. We should enter on confirmation, and place a stop-loss beyond the recent swing level.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
DXY (US Dollar): Bullish Order FlowA bullish order block has been identified on the H1 timeframe, situated below the Asian session range. With the US Dollar maintaining steady strength, there is potential for price to retrace into this order block for mitigation. Should this occur, a continuation of the bullish trend is anticipated, with price likely to rally and break above the recent structural high.
Slower Inflation Growth, Takes DXY lower.Overnight, the DXY traded lower, driven by 2 main factors.
1) The release of lower-than-expected CPI data at 2.3%
2) Rejection of the long-term bearish trendline and the area of confluence formed by the 61.8% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement levels from the longer term.
If the DXY breaks below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the shorter term, we could expect to see further downside, toward the target level of 100.
This round-number level would align with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level and the short-term bullish trendline.
Short-Term Pullback Expected for DXY Before Potential ReboundThe current position of the DXY is estimated to be in wave ii of wave (c) of wave . This implies that the DXY remains vulnerable to a correction toward the 100.244–100.905 area. Subsequently, there is a potential for a rebound, with the index likely to retest the 102.563–103.143 zone.
Dollar Weekly CLS I Continuation setup Model 2 , Target 50%Hey, Market Warriors, here is another outlook on this instrument
If you’ve been following me, you already know every setup you see is built around a CLS range, a Key Level, Liquidity and a specific execution model.
If you haven't followed me yet, start now.
My trading system is completely mechanical — designed to remove emotions, opinions, and impulsive decisions. No messy diagonal lines. No random drawings. Just clarity, structure, and execution.
🧩 What is CLS?
CLS is real smart money — the combined power of major investment banks and central banks moving over 6.5 trillion dollars a day. Understanding their operations is key to markets.
✅ Understanding the behaviour of CLS allows you to position yourself with the giants during the market manipulations — leading to buying lows and selling highs - cleaner entries, clearer exits, and consistent profits.
🛡️ Models 1 and 2:
From my posts, you can learn two core execution models.
They are the backbone of how I trade and how my students are trained.
📍 Model 1
is right after the manipulation of the CLS candle when CIOD occurs, and we are targeting 50% of the CLS range. H4 CLS ranges supported by HTF go straight to the opposing range.
📍 Model 2
occurs in the specific market sequence when CLS smart money needs to re-accumulate more positions, and we are looking to find a key level around 61.8 fib retracement and target the opposing side of the range.

USD overstretched to the downside as traders eye US retail salesApril retail sales data is scheduled to be released at 12:30 pm GMT tomorrow and will be a closely watched report as investors seek signs of any impact derived from tariffs, as well as potential future rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed).
According to LSEG Data and Analytics, economists expect retail sales to have stagnated, following a 1.5% gain in March – the largest one-month surge since the start of 2023; the estimate range is between a high of 0.4% and a low of -0.6%. Excluding autos, retail sales are anticipated to have cooled to 0.3%, down from March’s reading of 0.5%; however, estimates range from a high of 0.7% to a low of -0.5%.
Hard data is yet to follow soft data
Heading into the event, we are aware that soft data demonstrate a soft economy, which includes consumer and business sentiment surveys. In contrast, hard data has yet to follow suit and remains reasonably robust.
You will recall that CPI inflation data (Consumer Price Index) came in lower-than-expected in April, providing a modest shot in the arm for risk assets. Should retail sales come in stronger-than-anticipated, this could fan the fire and fuel the risk rally.
The April jobs report revealed that the US economy added 177,000 new payrolls according to the establishment survey. Consisting of 167,000 new private jobs and 10,000 government roles, this defied the market’s median estimate of 130,000, though it was lower than March’s downwardly revised reading of 185,000. According to the household survey, the population increased by 174,000, and the labour force grew by 518,000, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in the labour force participation rate to 62.6%. As expected, the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, while average hourly earnings rose by less-than-expected on both a month-on-month and year-on-year basis, increasing by 0.2% (down from the 0.3% estimate) and 3.8% (down from 3.9% expected), respectively.
On the growth side, real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) – that is, economic activity adjusted for inflation – fell to an annualised rate of 0.3% in Q1 25. However, to clarify, this is the first estimate; there are three monthly estimates to complete the quarter, with the next being the preliminary and then the final print. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the slowdown in growth was largely due to increased demand for imports. Nevertheless, according to the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow latest estimate (May 8), real GDP is now expected to grow at an annualised pace of 2.3% in Q2 2025.
USD Unwind?
According to the Commitment of Traders report (COT), the US dollar (USD) is overstretched to the downside, and the Citigroup Economic Surprise Index has been largely subdued, indicating that hard data has yet to be impacted by global trade tensions. This, coupled with the Fed in ‘wait-and-see’ mode and positive sentiment fuelling USD bids following the temporary US-China trade truce announced earlier this week, leads me to remain of the view that there is a solid backdrop for a higher USD. Consequently, my preference heading into the event would be to look for a beat in the data and possible long opportunities.
The USD index remains at monthly support at 99.67, but is struggling to overthrow the 50-month simple moving average (SMA) at 102.05, as well as daily resistance from 101.92/50-day SMA. As you can see from the charts below, daily support is now in play at 100.54, and, ultimately, I am looking for this level, along with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement ratio at 100.45, to hold ground.

Professional Interpretation
The chart reflects a bullish outlook on the U.S. Dollar Index, supported by a well-established ascending channel, strong support structure, and a potential correction before continuation. The trader is likely anticipating a bullish reversal from the current retracement area, targeting a new high around 103.00, which aligns with the previous swing level.
This analysis is methodical and uses sound price action principles—ideal for swing traders or short-term position traders seeking directional bias and clear trade execution zones.
Awais Ali: bullish reversal from the current re
After a rock-bottom RSI on DXY, is XAUUSD due for a fall? I thinIts no mystery that the DXY has an inverse mirroring relationship with XAUUSD. When DXY goes down, XAUUSD usually rises.
The RSI for DXY has been bottom of the barrel for a long time now, and combined with a recent break in structure, due certainly due for a temporary rise, which doesn't bode well for XAUUSD in the short term. I placed my SL around 3,254 and TP around 3,243, two key areas of support and resistance from an SMC perspective.
DXY Breaks out of long term Bearish ChannelThe Dollar Index TVC:DXY has finally broken out of a long term bearish channel and will most likely push back to top of the channel as Dollar Index strengthens. Expect a minor retracement to the bearish channel to gain momentum for the bullish move.
The financial market will likely experience many short positions/bearish moves on major FX pairs like AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, SGDUSD. Be on the lookout for such moves.

DXY Update – Bullish Correction in PlayAt the beginning of the month, I mentioned that the USD Index (DXY) could start a corrective move to the upside, with the 100 level being the critical line in the sand.
Indeed, the index managed to break and hold above this psychological and technical level, currently trading around 100.70, well above the former resistance now turned support.
My bullish outlook remains intact, and I expect the upside continuation to target the 102 zone in the coming sessions.
Conclusion: For pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD, rallies should be sold as long as this bullish momentum holds. 🚀
Bullish bounce?US Dollar Index (DXY) is falling towards the pivot and could bounce to the 1st resistance.
Pivot: 100.37
1st Support: 99.93
1st Resistance: 102.02

DXY Rebound or Reversal? All Eyes on the Bearish OB Zone! Analysis:
As anticipated, DXY has now swept the major weekly/monthly sell-side liquidity (SSL) at 99.58, tapping deep into a high-probability reversal zone. This aggressive liquidity raid was followed by a sharp bullish reaction—marking the first signs of potential re-accumulation or a relief rally.
Currently, price is pushing back toward a bearish order block (OB) that aligns with a dense cluster of confluences:
A weekly FVG (Fair Value Gap)
A monthly FVG that’s been previously respected
Major supply resistance from previous highs around 108.40–109.39
This confluence zone is critical.
📍 Two Likely Scenarios:
Rejection from OB Zone: If price respects the OB, expect continuation to the downside—possibly targeting a deeper structural shift and breaking below the recent SSL.
Breakthrough & Reclaim: If price breaks and closes strongly above the OB zone, it opens the door for a move toward 114.60, the next major daily buy-side liquidity.
🧠 Either outcome offers a significant macro play, especially for risk-sensitive pairs (i.e., AUD, NZD, Gold, or equities inversely correlated to USD strength). Keep in mind, DXY's movement is heavily influenced by macroeconomic events, so dollar strength or weakness can cascade across global markets.
Key Levels to Watch:
Support: 100.215 / 99.58
Resistance: 108.40 → 109.39 OB zone
Upper Target if invalidated: 114.60
