DXY - Dollar Index 4H bearish setupThe TVC:DXY is showing potential for a bearish reversal after its recent rise. Technically, DXY has bounced back to a key resistance zone after a major fall, reaching the order block from the last leg down. The failure to break significantly higher from this resistance suggests the possibility of another downward move. Liquidity grabs above the resistance zone further support this bearish outlook. However, a small bounce within the resistance zone before another fall is still possible as liquidity is gathered from the upside.
Fundamentally, several factors are influencing the bearish sentiment for the USD. The Federal Reserve’s ongoing easing cycle and the potential for further interest rate cuts weaken the dollar, especially as inflation pressures remain subdued. Other central banks, including the ECB, have cut rates, increasing the interest rate gap with the USD, which could further reduce demand for the dollar

GOLD → The target is liquidity above 2670-2685. What's next?FX:XAUUSD is consolidating in the local range of 2663 - 2636. There is a strong resistance and liquidity zone ahead. Bears may meet the market quite aggressively in the 2670 - 2685 zone.
The global rally is smoothly transitioning into a sideways fljt 2675 - 2604.
- Markets in China, which strongly supported gold after hints of fiscal stimulus is again facing challenges.
- Interest rates in the US should not be forgotten. The open question is “no interest rate cut” or “0.25% cut”. Will gold be able to stay bullish on the current flat under these circumstances?
- The dollar is rallying after last week's fundamental data and most likely the index's rise is not over... Fed policy makers are starting to change their mindset again and divide into 2 camps - aggressive / restrained.
- BUT! The conflict in the Middle East is cooling down from its limits. Based on the above mentioned, can we assume that the finger is hanging over the button “fix profit”????
Resistance levels: 2663, 2670, 2685
Support levels: 2645, 2636, 2623
Based on the general fundamental background, I do not yet understand the reasons that give such support to gold. There is a strong resistance zone ahead with huge liquidity. The price is in a sideways range and there are no preconditions to exit this channel yet. Most likely, the first retest of the levels ( it has been 2 weeks since the last retest ) may end in a reversal and correction

USDJPY - 4H Sell SetupFX:USDJPY is displaying a clear technical setup for a bearish move. After a significant pullback following a sharp fall, the pair failed to surpass the resistance zone around 149. This area has proven strong as the price action was unable to hold above it, trapping liquidity just above the resistance. The price then rejected this zone with a sharp reversal. Additionally, the second attempt to break through the resistance further confirms the weakness, as liquidity hunting above the resistance has been met with selling pressure. This rejection, combined with the failed breakout, suggests the pair is likely to fall towards the lower targeted support zone, potentially setting up a strong shorting opportunity in the near term.
This aligns with fundamental factors, including expectations of slower rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, Japan faces a cautious stance on raising interest rates, which has kept the yen under pressure. However, recent economic data from Japan, such as rising producer prices and decreased lending activity, suggests a shift may be underway, supporting further yen strength and a potential fall in USDJPY.
Traders should watch for a continuation of this move, as the failed attempts to breach resistance and the liquidity grab signal further downside pressure.

DXY - Reaching potential turning pointThe DXY has swung up from it's lows with a classic type 1 reaction and a dragon pattern at a key support that has held for the past two years. We have a bearish bias towards the DXY and here is why:
- Distribution pattern for over a year.
- Lower Highs and Lower Lows.
- General US Dollar Policy.
- Current bullish state of stock and crypto markets implying a weakening dollar.
So now in terms of the current chart and understanding where it could turn. For the past two years we have an impeccable record against the DXY, telling where it could and has bottomed or where it could and has topped.
Now, traditional technical analysis suggests a less convincing but still valuable bearish outlook on it. Here it is:
- Minor resistance just above.
- Completing the bearish 5-0 of this harmonic (We know XB is short of the required 0.786, we're choosing to value it the same).
- Straight reaction to T1 from the harmonic, no sign of accumulation bottom or deep retracement to capture value. Usually signifies an impulse move before at least a retracement to backtest the pcz and put in a higher/ same low.
- Strong Bearish Divergence on all the oscillators.
With these factors we are looking for the DXY to turn soon, the bearish 5-0 target would be a great point to do so but it could yet push higher.
The overall purpose of this post is to showcase that the DXY is still bearish although recent strength. The market is still bullish and could become even more so in the coming weeks/months.
DXY: Market Is Looking Up! Buy!
Welcome to our daily DXY prediction!
We made our analysis today using SMC and ICT trading theories, which, combined with our trading experience all point to the upside. So we are locally bullish biased and the target for the long trade is 103.388
Wish you good luck in trading to you all!
Dollar Index Bullish to $109!I am looking for a 3 Sub-Wave correction into $109 for 2025.
I believe this'll be fuelled by the U.S. elections. Donald Trump will be selected as the next puppet to run the U.S. economy. His 'MAGA (Make America Great Again' phase will push liquidity into the US Dollar. This is how I think the market will reach $109.
DXY Rebounding on the 1M MA50. But for how long?The U.S. Dollar index (DXY) is on a strong green 1M candle, already halfway through the month of October, as it is rebounding after making an exact test of the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line), the long-term Support.
On this chart we can see the DXY's multi-year price action. Even though it was on a heavy downtrend since the February 1985 High, it managed to break above it in January 2015 and sustain a strong Channel Up, coming off the March 2008 bottom of the disastrous Housing Crisis.
Within this strong Channel Up, we see a repeated pattern as long as Bullish and Bearish Legs are concerned. As you can see, the bottoms have been formed significantly below the 1M MA50, so this indicates that it is not time to buy yet.
If anything, a controlled short is justified and as we get closer to the bottom of the Channel Up, start buying on a multi-year basis (as long as the 1M MA200 (orang trend-line) holds). Based on the 1M RSI, where the similarities with the previous Leg are more obvious, we should be around levels similar to October 2017, so starting next month or December, we should start resuming the downtrend and a 'modest' level to target is 97.000.

Gold prices are upheld despite the obstacle of a strong dollar
The September CPI exceeding market expectations has reduced the likelihood of a Fed’s jumbo cut, leading to a sharp increase in the dollar and Treasury yields. The probability of a 50bp cut is now at 0%, with a 10.4% chance of rates remaining unchanged. However, despite the dollar going north, gold prices are getting attention, approaching all-time highs, partly due to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The upcoming release of September retail sales data is expected to impact gold prices directly. A solid retail sales outcome would reduce the likelihood of further Fed rate cuts, and the gold’s uptrend would take a break for a while.
XAUUSD bounced back to 2650 after briefly testing EMA21. The price sustains a solid uptrend within the ascending channel and holds above both EMAs, indicating a bullish signal. If XAUUSD breaches the resistance at 2680 and the ascending channel's upper bound, the price may gain upward momentum toward a new record high of 2780. Conversely, if XAUUSD breaks EMA21 and fails to hold above the ascending channel's lower bound, the price may fall further to the 2520 level, where EMA78 coincides.
Sell GBP/USD Triangle Breakout The GBP/USD pair on the M30 timeframe presents a Potential Selling Opportunity due to a recent breakout from a Triangle Pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside in the coming hours.
Possible Short Trade:
Entry: Consider Entering A Short Position Below the Broken Trendline Of The Triangle After Confirmation. Ideally, This Would Be Around 1.3055
Target Levels:
1st Support – 1.2988
2nd Support – 1.2960

XAUUSD 13/10/24This week, gold's price action dropped and took out the liquidity to the left, as we discussed in last week's analysis. This move provided enough momentum to fuel a bullish shift, suggesting higher prices are likely, as indicated in our previous analysis. Looking left, there are two liquidity highs that are likely to be targeted next, followed by the all-time high, which is our primary target.
Based on the principle that we may see a pullback into bearish pricing, we have identified an area of demand. If this demand zone delivers a bullish setup, we can look to go long from here, aiming for the all-time high. However, if there is no reaction at this demand zone, we will look for the liquidity below to be taken. Should the price not pull back at all, we will then anticipate the all-time high to be taken directly.
Trade safe and follow your plan.
Have a great trading week!
