DXY - 1H still bearish...While some signals indicate buy opportunities on the dollar index, I remain skeptical. As mentioned in our 4H analysis, the third bullish leg has been completed, and I expect a deeper correction in CAPITALCOM:DXY . In the 1H time frame, we can observe that the second reaction to the support zone is significantly weaker than the first. This could indicate a potential breakdown of the support zone, with the index likely falling below the 107 level. Let’s see how this plays out! Follow for timely updates and expert insights! 🚀

Global Markets Show Moderate OptimismGlobal markets closed the week with a tone of moderate optimism, driven by President Trump's statements at the World Economic Forum, where he advocated for an immediate reduction in interest rates and a softer approach to imposing tariffs on China. However, uncertainty regarding the trade and fiscal policies of the new U.S. administration, coupled with mixed economic data, kept investors cautious. Stock indices record weekly gains Major global stock markets ended the week in positive territory, with the S&P 500 reaching new all-time highs. Optimism fueled by Trump's remarks, along with strong corporate earnings, boosted stocks. The German DAX extended its winning streak to nine consecutive days, while the French CAC 40 reached its highest level in seven months. In Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng posted weekly gains thanks to Beijing's support for the stock market. The dollar weakens against stronger counterparts The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies, hitting a one-month low. The strength of the euro, British pound, and Oceanic currencies reflected uncertainty surrounding Trump's policies and optimism from economic data in Europe and other regions. The Japanese yen also appreciated following the Bank of Japan's decision to raise interest rates. Key movements in Latin America In Latin America, the Brazilian real appreciated to an eight-week high, supported by foreign direct investment inflows and easing inflationary pressures. The Colombian peso also strengthened, while the Mexican peso posted significant weekly gains. However, Mexico's economic activity slowed more than expected in November, raising concerns about the recovery pace of Latin America's second-largest economy. Mixed trends in commodities Gold approached its all-time high, driven by the weak dollar and Trump's comments on interest rates. Silver also appreciated, while copper showed operational weakness due to supply concerns. Oil recorded a weekly decline due to Trump's pressure to lower crude prices. Economic data and monetary policy Economic data released during the week painted a mixed picture of the global economy. Private sector activity in the Eurozone unexpectedly expanded, while German manufacturing contracted at a slower pace. In the UK, services sector activity exceeded expectations, though employment growth remained weak. Regarding monetary policy, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates and hinted at further increases. The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates next week, while the Bank of England may follow suit in February. The U.S. Federal Reserve meets next week, and while rates are expected to remain unchanged, investors will closely monitor signals regarding future policy directions. Key factors to watch in the future Markets will closely follow the Trump administration's policies, particularly regarding international trade and fiscal policy. The trajectory of the global economy, decisions by central banks, and geopolitical tensions will also be critical factors to watch in the coming weeks. In summary, global markets remain in a state of cautious optimism. Mixed signals from the Trump administration, economic data, and uncertainty about the future of the global economy keep investors on alert.

DXY RECOVERS AFTER TRUMP’S INAUGURATIONAs markets adjust to the new U.S. administration, “a dawn of a new era," DXY recovers after Trump’s inauguration. After experiencing a decline of over 1%, the index found support around 107.56 and is now trading at 108.40 as of 3:43 PM GMT+4 (Dubai time), marking a 0.61% increase. From a fundamental standpoint, President Trump's second administration is anticipated to have a significant impact on the U.S. economy, with a strong emphasis on key economic policies. This includes but not limited to his announcement of a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, effective February 1, 2025, alongside maintaining existing tariffs on Chinese goods. Additionally, his declaration of a "National Energy Emergency" highlights a push to expand oil drilling and deregulate the energy industry. This initiative aims to achieve energy independence and reduce costs but raises concerns about environmental impact and potential legal challenges. In terms of immigration, stricter enforcement and increased deportations are expected to affect labor markets, particularly in industries heavily dependent on immigrant workers. This could result in labor shortages and higher production costs. While these policies aim to stimulate economic growth, they come with potential risks, such as inflationary pressures, trade conflicts, and labor market disruptions. The overall impact will depend on how effectively these policies are implemented and their reception both domestically and internationally. UPCOMING CATALYST On Thursday, January 23rd, the U.S. unemployment claims are scheduled for release at 5:30 AM GMT+4, followed by the crude oil inventory report at 8:00 PM. The next day, Friday, will feature the release of Manufacturing and Services PMIs at 6:45 PM, and to close the week, existing home sales and consumer sentiment reports will be released simultaneously at 7:00 PM. These data points have the potential to significantly influence market movements, underscoring the importance of cautious analysis and strategic decision-making. TECHNICAL VIEW: From a technical perspective, the DXY is recovering from the previous day's losses, which had strengthened major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, AUD/USD, and GBP/USD. Currently, the index is trading around 108.40, with 108.80 acting as a key resistance level. Given the upcoming data releases, a favorable outcome could propel the DXY above 108.80, with potential targets at 109.09, 109.44, and 109.81 in the coming weeks. However, a correction is still a possibility. Conversely, a negative reading could further weaken the dollar, with potential downside targets at 107.48, the psychological level of 107.00, and 106.56. Analysts suggest that breakouts in either direction are possible, depending on the data's impact.

Increase in U.S. Unemployment ClaimsThe recent data on initial unemployment claims in the United States introduces a note of caution amid an economic outlook that, until recently, appeared robust. Contrary to the narrative of U.S. economic exceptionalism that dominated the first half of January, initial unemployment claims have risen for the second consecutive week, with continuing claims reaching their highest level since November 2021. This increase raises questions about the relative strength of the labor market presented by the December NFP report and its potential impact on the country’s economic trajectory. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that initial claims increased by 6,000, reaching 223,000 for the week ending January 18, slightly exceeding market expectations of 220,000. Beyond the weekly figure, the standout data point is the rise in continuing claims, which climbed to 1,899,000, marking the highest level in over two years. This increase suggests that unemployed workers are taking longer to find new job opportunities, an indicator warranting close monitoring. This rise in continuing claims is a figure that deserves attention. Prolonged periods of unemployment could negatively affect consumer spending and confidence. While this data tempers the optimism generated by the strong December NFP report, it’s crucial to place it within a global context. The U.S. economy, compared to other developed economies, still shows a relatively strong performance. However, this uptick in unemployment claims dampens the narrative of economic exceptionalism. In the realm of monetary policy, these data points are unlikely to significantly influence the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) in its upcoming meeting, where interest rates are expected to remain unchanged. Similarly, market expectations for 2025 rate cuts remain centered on the second half of the year, with a forecast of a single 25 basis point cut. The U.S. dollar experienced slight additional downward pressure following the release of this data, adding to the pressures from signs of easing inflation and the absence of targeted tariff measures at the start of the Trump 2.0 administration. The DXY index registered a slight decline of 0.05%. Market attention will now turn to next week’s FOMC meeting and, in particular, to Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks. Additionally, uncertainty persists over the potential implementation of punitive tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, a measure that could have significant implications for trade and the economy. While it is premature to suggest a trend reversal, this data serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining constant vigilance over labor market developments and their broader economic impact.

DXY Long term Bullish biasWhy the Dollar Index is Likely to Rise in the Near Term: The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is poised for potential gains in the near term, driven by a combination of factors: Strong U.S. Economic Data: Recent economic reports show resilient U.S. growth, with solid GDP numbers and strong labor market data supporting the dollar’s upward trajectory. Fed's Hawkish Stance: The Federal Reserve remains committed to combating inflation, keeping interest rates elevated and signaling further tightening if necessary. Higher rates generally make the dollar more attractive to investors. Global Risk-Off Sentiment: Increasing geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty often push investors toward the U.S. dollar as a safe haven asset. This trend tends to drive up demand for USD during times of global instability. Euro Weakness: As the Eurozone faces its own economic challenges, including inflation concerns and weaker growth prospects, the Euro may remain under pressure, providing additional support to the dollar. Given these factors, the dollar appears well-positioned to strengthen in the short term, likely driving the DXY higher.

Why Tariffs & Why Now?Trump's tariffs aim to reshape international trade. They target imports from China, Mexico, and Canada starting February 1. The president sees tariffs as both a policy tool and a growing revenue stream. By imposing fees on foreign goods, he hopes to protect U.S. industries and encourage fair trade practices. U.S. manufacturers face an uneven playing field when compared to foreign counterparts like those in Mexico and China, due to differences in regulations and quality controls. For instance, China doesn’t have strict regulations like OSHA, which ensures worker safety and environmental standards in the U.S. Additionally, Chinese manufacturers often don't face the same level of quality control scrutiny that domestic manufacturing companies do. These disparities make it difficult to directly compare commodities, as U.S. manufacturers shoulder higher costs to comply with regulations, while foreign manufacturers benefit from fewer restrictions. As a result, domestic manufacturers and distributors struggle to compete on price, which is one of the reasons tariffs are viewed as protecting national strategic interest. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, in a CNBC interview today from Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is taking place said, “I would put in perspective: If it’s a little inflationary, but it’s good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it.” Citation: www.cnn.com Tariffs are not new to Trump’s strategy. The trade war with China in 2018 established a framework for using tariffs to gain leverage. This latest round builds on that approach, with broader goals for economic influence. Trump has proposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. The reasoning ties to China’s fentanyl production and export practices. This decision follows conversations with China’s President Xi Jinping. Trump urged stricter measures against fentanyl production and shipping, linking it to broader trade concerns. American businesses already face up to 25% tariffs on many Chinese imports. These new fees would add further strain to supply chains, raising prices for consumers. However, it will promote domestic manufacturing and bulster this important sector of the economy. Mexico and Canada are also in Trump’s sights. He plans to impose 25% tariffs on goods imported from these neighboring countries. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concerns saying that Canada supplies vital materials like oil, steel, and lumber. He went on to claim that the U.S. Tariffs could disrupt this trade and raise costs for American industries. Both nations aim to avoid direct trade conflict while protecting their economies from potential damage. Trump’s tariffs serve multiple purposes. They are designed to pressure trade partners, reduce deficits, and address what he views as unfair practices. Tariffs also play a role in domestic revenue generation. They are a tax on imported goods, and higher tariffs mean more money for government programs. Economists warn of potential downsides, including higher consumer prices. Some argue that the inflationary effects could complicate the Federal Reserve’s plans for interest rate cuts. Let's explore that further now. What does the data say concerning Tariffs? The ISM Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) is a key economic indicator that measures the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector. Compiled through surveys of supply chain executives, it tracks new orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries, and inventory levels. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 signals contraction. As a barometer of economic activity, the PMI provides valuable insight into broader economic trends and business conditions. Since the second half of 2022, the ISM Manufacturing PMI has been in contraction territory, reflecting ongoing struggles in the manufacturing sector. Factors such as high interest rates, which increase borrowing costs for businesses, and weaker global demand have weighed heavily on production. Tariffs, while aimed at protecting domestic manufacturing, could potentially exacerbate these challenges by raising input costs, further pressuring profit margins. Critics argue that higher tariffs could contribute to inflation, limiting the Federal Reserve’s ability to lower interest rates and support broader economic growth. A strong dollar has also added to manufacturers' woes, echoing the environment during Trump's 2017 inauguration. A strong dollar makes U.S. exports more expensive and imports cheaper, reducing competitiveness for domestic manufacturers. In 2017, the dollar weakened after initial strength leading into the Trump inaguration, providing a temporary boost to manufacturing by making exports more affordable and imports pricier. A similar trend today could aid the sector, but its timing and magnitude remain uncertain, leaving manufacturers navigating a complex and challenging economic environment. A strong dollar is closely tied to domestic interest rates, as higher rates make U.S. financial assets more attractive to global investors. With the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate, or Fed Funds Rate, at elevated levels, there is a strong incentive for multinational corporations and foreign investors to acquire dollars to purchase U.S. Treasuries. These assets offer a combination of safety and competitive yields, drawing capital inflows that drive up demand for the dollar. For instance, the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield currently sits at 4.295%, significantly higher than China’s 2-year yield of 1.26%. This wide yield differential makes U.S. Treasuries a far more appealing investment, strengthening the dollar in the process. The Fed’s success in controlling inflation has further bolstered the dollar's appeal. As inflation trends downward toward the 2% target, the relative stability of the U.S. economy enhances confidence in dollar-denominated assets. This dynamic creates a feedback loop: high interest rates attract foreign capital, which strengthens the dollar, making U.S. exports more expensive and imports cheaper. While this helps curb inflation, it poses challenges for domestic manufacturing by eroding competitiveness. This delicate balance underscores the complexity of managing monetary policy while considering its ripple effects on trade and the broader economy. One bright spot for domestic manufacturing is that it appears to have hit rock bottom after years of sharp declines. Similar to the transportation sector, which shows signs of recovery as reflected in the recent ATA tonnage index, manufacturing seems to be stabilizing. The worst may be over, and the sector is finally showing signs of life. New orders for manufacturing have moved back into growth mode, offering hope for a sustained rebound. This shift signals that demand is returning, which could provide a foundation for manufacturers to rebuild and capitalize on future opportunities.

DXY in 4H timeframehello dear traders U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) and the potential for a correction over the next month: Federal Reserve Monetary Policy: If the Federal Reserve signals a slowdown or pause in its rate hikes, it could put downward pressure on the DXY. Upcoming speeches or FOMC minutes will be key indicators to watch. U.S. Economic Data: Weaker-than-expected economic data, such as lower GDP growth, higher unemployment rates, or declining inflation, could suggest a less aggressive Fed policy, leading to a potential correction in the dollar. Global Economic Trends and Risk Sentiment: Increased risk appetite in global markets could drive investors toward riskier assets (like equities or emerging market currencies), reducing demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset. Geopolitical and International Developments: Any easing of geopolitical tensions or positive trade agreements between major economies could diminish the dollar’s safe-haven appeal and contribute to a potential correction. Correlated Markets like Gold and Oil: Rising prices in gold or oil often correlate with a weaker dollar. If these assets strengthen, it could be a sign of dollar weakness. In summary, weaker U.S. data or dovish signals from the Fed, combined with a more favorable global economic environment, could increase the likelihood of a DXY correction over the next month.

DXY Possible Daily Formation?This may just be a massive rationalization but let me know what your thoughts are please. I feel that maybe this is a very sideways H&S, with NFP data earlier today price shot higher into a big daily resistance, thus making me feel it will reject and complete this pattern. Unless of course it continues to break ceilings, then we can give the dollar a new name. Bitcoin. This is not an idea for marking TPs and SLs i am just curious if fellow traders could see this as a possibility. Feedback greatly appreciated. Preferably kind feedback lol. Ive noticed trading view minds and ideas are quite aggressive and condescending at times in the replies to others ideas.

My Analysis of the DXY ChartLooking at this chart, the DXY is moving within an ascending channel defined by the two white trendlines. Based on my analysis, there are a few key levels to watch, especially the Fibonacci retracement levels. First, if the price starts to drop from the upper boundary of the channel, it is likely to retrace down to the 0.61 Fibonacci level. This is an important support zone, and the price might bounce back up from here. However, if the 0.61 Fibonacci level doesn’t hold, the price could continue falling towards the 0.78 retracement level. This level is a much stronger support and could trigger a significant reversal if the price reaches it. Finally, the lower boundary of the channel, marked by the white trendline, serves as the ultimate area of support. If the price falls this far, there’s a strong chance it will bounce back upward within the channel. This analysis highlights the key zones where the price is likely to react and helps identify the next potential moves for the DXY

DXY at Crossroads? Break in Trend Points to Dollar WeaknessUnless we see a significant rally into Friday’s close, the US Dollar Index (DXY) weekly chart suggests the cycle high may already be in. The current three-candle pattern resembles a textbook evening star, often seen at turning points. An opposite morning star signal in early December proved accurate, as did the evening star in late June last year. This latest signal is notable, especially as it coincides with a break in the uptrend that followed Trump’s election win. Adding to the bearish case, the RSI (14) uptrend from September has been broken, and while not yet confirmed by MACD, it too appears to be in the early stage of rolling over. Traders should watch for a potential break of support at 107.75, a level DXY has bounced off in three of the past four weeks. If that level gives way, downside targets include 106.736 and 105.44. Although not technical, it’s worth noting the market has trimmed expectations for Fed easing this year, dropping from six cuts to fewer than two since September. This shift leaves the dollar vulnerable given how much bullish sentiment towards the US economy is already priced in.
