How the U.S. Election Outcome Could Shape DXY's pathHey Traders! In today’s trading session, we’re closely watching the DXY for a potential buying opportunity around the 102.800 zone. Recently, DXY has been trending downward but managed to break out of that downtrend, signaling a possible shift in momentum. Right now, it’s in a corrective phase and approaching the retracement level near the 102.800 support and resistance zone. Fundamental Analysis: U.S. Election Impact on the Dollar Today’s election could significantly impact the U.S. dollar, with the outcome likely to shape future economic policies. Here’s how each candidate’s policies might influence DXY: If Trump Wins: A Trump victory is expected to strengthen the dollar. Here’s why: Higher Inflation and Interest Rates: Trump’s policies, including potential tariffs and stricter immigration, are seen as inflationary. Tariffs can increase the cost of imported goods, while reduced immigration may create labor shortages, both driving inflation higher. Federal Reserve’s Stance: Higher inflation would prompt the Fed to reconsider future rate cuts and possibly lean toward raising rates to control inflation. Higher interest rates make the dollar more attractive, as investors seek better returns. Tax Cuts and Economic Boost: Trump’s proposed tax cuts are likely to stimulate economic growth in the short term. A booming economy typically supports a stronger dollar as investors favor a robust market. In this scenario, DXY would likely respond positively, and we could see a strong upward movement. If Harris Wins: On the other hand, a Harris victory could weaken the dollar due to different policy priorities: Lower Inflation and More Fed Flexibility: Harris’s policies are expected to focus more on economic support, potentially through spending programs and fewer tariffs. Lower inflationary pressure gives the Fed more room to keep rates low or even consider cuts. Market Reaction: Investors may anticipate a slower economic rebound, favoring a weaker dollar, as demand for safe-haven assets like the dollar could decrease. Your vote is very important! Joe.

Elliott Wave View Looking for Dollar Index (DXY) to Rollover to Short Term Elliott Wave View on Dollar Index (DXY) suggests that rally to 104.63 ended wave ((4)). This completed cycle from 9.27.2024 low and the Index should either resume lower in wave ((5)) or pullback in 3 waves at least. The Index has started to turn lower and we are calling the move lower from wave ((4)) high as a diagonal 5 waves. Down from wave ((4)), wave (i) ended at 103.98 and wave (ii) ended at 104.43. Wave (iii) lower ended at 103.82, wave (iv) ended at 104.19, and wave (v) lower ended at 103.68. This completed wave ((i)) in higher degree. Rally in wave ((ii)) ended at 104.35. Index resumed lower in wave ((iii)) towards 103.63 and wave ((iv)) ended at 103.83. Final leg wave ((v)) ended at 103.57 which completed wave 1 in higher degree. Wave 2 rally is in progress with internal subdivision as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Up from wave 1, wave ((a)) is expected to end soon, then it should pullback in wave ((b)), before the Index rallies higher again in wave ((c)). This will complete wave 2 in higher degree before the Index resumes lower. As far as pivot at 104.63 high stays intact, expect rally to fail in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further downside.

Markets Brace for US Presidential Election and the FedMarket watchers and investors are preparing for one of the most significant weeks of the year: the United States (US) presidential election takes place tomorrow, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its interest rate decision on Thursday. Both events could significantly impact global markets, potentially influencing currencies, equities, bonds, and commodities. Who Will Be the Next President of the World’s Largest Economy? Over the past few months, Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, have been running neck-and-neck in both national polls and state surveys, making it clear that both candidates have about an even chance of winning tomorrow’s election. The presidency will ultimately be decided by the Electoral College outcome, which will be based on the election results in individual states. Each state’s number of electors is proportional to its population size. There are 535 electors for the 50 states and 3 for the District of Columbia; that is a total of 538 electors. A candidate must gain a majority of the electoral votes – 270 or more – to win the presidency and for their running mate to become the vice president. If no candidate wins 270 electoral votes, a contingent election occurs: the House of Representatives will elect the president, and the Senate will be tasked with electing the vice president. This makes it possible that the House elects a president from the majority’s preferred party while the Senate chooses a vice president from the other. It should be noted that a candidate may win the popular vote across the country but lose the Electoral College vote. This has happened five times in the past, with the most recent being in 2016 when Trump won the presidency despite trailing behind Hilary Clinton by nearly three million votes nationwide. The 5 November election will also determine which party controls Congress; there are 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 seats in the Senate up for grabs. Currently, Republicans hold a majority in the House, while Democrats control the Senate – albeit both by slim margins. Polls suggest the control of each chamber could switch this election round. With less than 24 hours to go for the election and more than 77.6 million votes already cast, ABC News/FiveThirtyEight’s latest polls indicate that Harris holds a marginal lead over Trump with 47.9% vs 47.0%. Battleground States Set to Determine the Election Result The seven battle states have a total of 93 electoral votes – with polls indicating razor-thin margins. According to the latest New York Times/Siena College polls, Harris is ahead by three percentage points in Nevada (49% vs 46%), two points in North Carolina and Wisconsin (48% vs 46% and 49% vs 47%, respectively), and one percentage point in Georgia (48% vs 47%). Trump maintains his advantage in Arizona, leading by four percentage points (49% vs 45%). Interestingly, the polls show that the two candidates are locked in close races in Michigan and Pennsylvania, with results in all seven states within the margin of error – meaning neither candidate has a definitive lead. Election Results and Market Impact Exit polls are expected to begin rolling in at approximately 5:00 pm Eastern Time (ET). While these results do not show ‘the full picture’, they can provide early insights and volatility may increase as a result. However, market participants are likely to exercise caution, and rightly so. Results will be adjusted numerous times throughout the evening as more votes are counted. The reporting of results from major swing states will be a crucial period for traders. The process starts with the polls closing in Georgia at 7:00 pm ET and concludes with the results from Nevada at around 10:00 pm ET. You can expect volatility to surge once all the key states’ results are reported at about 11:00 pm ET. Early AM (ET) on 6 November, investors will have more clarity on a potential election winner. While a winner is usually clear at this point, if there is uncertainty, or talks of recounting, markets may consolidate as this could result in legal action from both sides. It is also important to acknowledge that although a winner is generally clear on election day, there are instances when the outcome may not be determined for several hours, days, or even weeks. A clean sweep for Trump is expected to boost demand for the US dollar (USD) and US equities, as well as a rise in US Treasury yields in response to fiscal stimulus. Trump’s pro-growth and domestic policies, and potential for tariffs, could lead to demand for stocks in the financial and energy sectors. Additionally, major cryptocurrencies could catch a bid amid Trump’s ‘plans’ to make the US the ‘Crypto Capital’ of the planet. A clean sweep for Harris is likely to weigh on the USD and US Treasury yields amid less tax cuts and increased spending. Major US equity indices could take a hit on a Harris victory, though the reaction is likely to be mixed. Fed Poised to Cut by 25 Basis Points In addition to the US elections, the Fed will claim a portion of the attention this week, scheduled to make the airwaves at 7:00 pm GMT on Thursday. Markets are fully pricing in a 25-basis point (bp) reduction, a move that would bring the target for the funds rate to 4.50-4.75%. The elections are unlikely to sway this decision. In fact, anything other than a cut – particularly following the bumper 50 bp reduction at September’s meeting, the Fed’s latest dot-plot suggesting 50bps of additional easing this year, and robust economic data – would catch the markets off guard and may prompt investors to question whether the Fed made a mistake going for ‘50’ in September. Investors are also expecting another possible 25bp cut at December’s meeting (20 bps of cuts currently priced in). The US economy remains on solid footing, with the Fed still focussed on achieving a soft-landing scenario. Inflation eased for a sixth consecutive month in September, cooling to 2.4% from 2.5% in August – its lowest level since early 2021 – while core inflation increased to 3.3% in September from 3.2% in August. In terms of payrolls, job growth recently ground to a halt, adding a paltry 12,000 jobs to the economy in October (market consensus: 113,000). While this was a surprise, the lower-than-expected print was influenced by weather and strikes, therefore, the Fed are likely to overlook this print and emphasise that attention needs to be on longer-term trends. Unemployment remained unchanged at 4.1%, and wage growth accelerated, which is concerning, with both month-on-month and year-on-year measures showing increases. The latest figures also show that Q3 24 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by an annualised rate of 2.8% (according to the first estimate), defying analyst expectations of 3.1% and the 3.0% reading in Q2. One of the main drivers behind the economy’s resilience was robust consumer spending (up 3.7%). Dollar Index on the Ropes Realistically, longer-term chart studies on the monthly timeframe reveal that the USD has largely been directionless since the beginning of 2023, fluctuating between 100.82 and 107.35. Note that the lower edge of the said range is joined by the 50-month simple moving average (SMA) at 100.44. However, while the greenback is trading mid-range on the monthly timeframe, price action on the daily timeframe recently crossed beneath its 200-day SMA at 103.83 after shaking hands with resistance at 104.55 in late October. Technically, assuming a daily close beneath the noted SMA, further underperformance could be seen in the USD towards support at 102.78.

DXY Under Pressure: Analyzing Economic Signals Ahead U.S. Elect.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is currently showing intriguing movements as it deals with a mix of economic data and looming political changes. After a Friday marked by disappointing economic indicators—such as the ISM Manufacturing PMI and the Non-Farm Employment Change—the DXY appears to be entering a potential reversal phase. This was further reflected in its negative opening on Monday, which had a noticeable impact on trading in London. Economic Backdrop and Market Sentiment The DXY's recent performance has been influenced by a combination of economic releases and trader sentiment. The mixed results from significant economic indicators have created a sense of cautious uncertainty among investors. The less-than-ideal ISM Manufacturing PMI and Non-Farm Employment Change figures have raised concerns about the strength of the U.S. economy, prompting traders to reassess their positions. As market participants analyze these economic signals, it’s evident that the DXY is acting in response to established price levels and supply zones. Recent price actions suggest a critical juncture; the dollar seems to be encountering resistance as it approaches these key areas. Insights from the COT Report A deeper look at the market dynamics through the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals a noteworthy divergence. Retail traders continue to maintain long positions, likely influenced by previous bullish sentiment surrounding the dollar. Meanwhile, institutional investors, often referred to as the "smart money," are taking a more bearish stance, gradually shifting their positions lower. This unsettling divergence raises important questions: Will the enthusiasm of retail traders sway the market, or will the more cautious strategies of institutional investors prevail? This situation highlights the potential for volatility that characterizes these transitional phases in the market. Retail traders may find themselves at risk if the smart money's strategies prove to be more prescient. Seasonal Trends Indicate a Bearish Outlook Adding another layer of complexity, seasonal patterns historically suggest that a bearish trend may be on the horizon during this time of year. Price movements often align with established seasonal patterns, prompting traders to consider the implications for future market performance. The Impending U.S. Elections: A Prelude to Volatility With U.S. elections fast approaching, market volatility is expected to rise significantly. History shows that political events can greatly influence currency and asset prices, leading traders to adjust their positions in anticipation of results. This environment is likely to see retracements across various indices and currencies, creating turmoil across the financial landscape. As market participants prepare for the immediate aftermath of the elections, substantial fluctuations are anticipated. The uncertainty surrounding the potential outcomes and the resulting policy shifts will drive considerable movement across asset classes. Conclusion The DXY’s trajectory is complex as it navigates a potential reversal amidst mixed economic signals, diverging trader positions, and impending political changes. With the elections on the horizon, traders should brace for increased volatility and be ready to adapt to rapid shifts in momentum. Staying informed about economic indicators, seasonal trends, and overall market sentiment will be crucial for navigating this challenging landscape. Ultimately, success in these uncertain times will hinge on understanding market psychology while remaining agile in response to both data releases and geopolitical developments.
