Trump's dollar disregardUpdated version of my chart from 2022, whereby we predicted the rising strength of TVC:DXY to fill out the channel forecasted. Gold pumping to ATH's with increased political uncertainty throughout the globe and China dumping its US treasuries i am surprised the dollar has held sustained this price.
Here present is some technical analysis outlining the key levels for $TVC:DXY. Keeping this text short i am predicting the decline of the Dollar and i am currently keeping my eye on the GBP/USD chart alongside NOK/USD as see these as the most interesting in the FX markets.
DXY - Dollar Index AnalysisThe U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) remains in a bearish zone, as indicated by the current weekly chart. There is potential for further downside movement toward the 99.70 level, which serves as a strong support area. If this level is breached, the next key support could be found near 98.56.
Alternatively, the index may experience a short-term correction to the upside. A breakout above 101.40 could trigger a move toward the 102.40 resistance level. However, this upward movement is likely to be limited, and the broader trend suggests a probable return to bearish momentum, potentially driving the index back down toward 98.56.
DOLLARDollar (DXY) Outlook: Bearish Near-Term, Consolidation with Mild Depreciation
Current Trends: The U.S. dollar has weakened 8.4% year-to-date, pressured by:
Economic Contraction: Q1 2025 GDP shrank by 0.3%, driven by pre-tariff import surges and softening domestic demand.
Fed Policy Uncertainty: Mixed signals on inflation control and delayed rate cuts erode confidence.
Trade Tensions: Escalating U.S. tariffs disrupt global markets, favoring alternatives like the euro as a safe haven.
Technical Momentum: Bearish chart patterns suggest further downside, with key support levels at risk.
Reserve Currency Status: Despite concerns, the USD retains 57.8% of global reserves, providing a floor against rapid declines.
Treasury Yields and Recession Signals
Yield Levels
10-year: 4.439%
2-year: 3.976%
30-year: 4.900%
Inverted Yield Curve: The 10-2 spread remains negative, a historically reliable recession indicator. Past inversions preceded downturns by 18–92 weeks, signaling heightened recession risks.
Implications for USD:
Inverted curves typically weaken the dollar as markets price in future Fed rate cuts.
Rising long-term yields (e.g., 10-year at 4.439%) paradoxically coincide with dollar weakness, reflecting investor skepticism about U.S. economic resilience.
Key Drivers and Cross-Currency Impacts
Factor Impact on USD Impact on Yields
Fed Policy Uncertainty ↓ (Delayed cuts weigh) ↑ (Volatility in rate expectations)
Trade Tariffs ↓ (Safe-haven flows to EUR) ↑ (Risk premium in long-term yields)
Inverted Yield Curve ↓ (Recession fears) – (Historically precedes recessions)
Eurozone Growth (0.4% Q1) ↓ (EUR strength pressures USD) –
Conclusion
The U.S. dollar faces a bearish near-term bias, driven by economic softness, tariff headwinds, and technical breakdowns. Treasury yields, particularly the inverted curve, reinforce recession risks and further USD downside. However, the dollar’s reserve status and higher relative rates (vs. peers like the euro and yen) may limit severe declines, favoring consolidation with mild depreciation.
Watch for:
Fed communication on rate cuts and inflation.
Eurozone PMI data (May 22) to gauge EUR resilience.
10-2 yield spread dynamics for recession timing clues.
In summary, the dollar’s trajectory hinges on balancing recession risks against its yield advantage, with bears currently in control.
USD Bulls Battle at SupportThe U.S. Dollar dropped into support early in the week at 99.95-100.15- a region defined by the 50% retracement of the late-April advance, the 2023 low-day close, and the 2024 low. Note that the 100% extension of the decline rests just lower at 99.55 and losses would need to be limited to this level IF Euro is heading higher on this stretch.
Initial resistance is at with the Friday close at 100.98 with a breach / close above the September high / high-day close (HDC) at 101.77/92 needed to fuel the next leg of the advance.

Simply an opinion -
We always trade what we see and not what were think BUT, with that said it just feels... Unnatural to place too many bets against the USD. For that reason, our points of interest are not based on order black from too far in the distant weeks and month. We have identified more conservative targets for the DXY for the week 21 in Q2.
We foresee that with the deals that have been brokered alongside the steadiness of USD market sentiment, THE DXY MAY RISE AGAIN.
We forecast continued bearish sentiment of the DXY to the key points of interest area 98.000, weekly lows/daily lows BEFORE creating a monthly higher high inline with USD strength and Trumps seeks to sure up US ambitions.
📈The rest, we leave to the balance of probabilities.
💡Fail to plan. Plan to fail.
🏆It has always been that simple.
❤️Good luck with your trading journey, I shall see you at the very top.
