USD Week 3 of Gains - 23.6% Fibonacci RetracementThis week has been the third consecutive week of gains for DXY and this comes in stark contrast to the bearish trend that drove price in early-April trade. This week was of course a lift from the FOMC rate decision, and next week brings inflation back to center-stage with the Tuesday release of CPI.
In DXY, we've only seen a mere 23.6% retracement of the 2025 sell-off so this move is still very much in the early stages. We also can't rule out sellers taking another shot here, as the oversold RSI reading from a few weeks ago often doesn't mark the exact low - because trends can usually take some time before they actually turn.
What will probably weigh on the matter is EUR/USD and whether a larger pullback can show there, but for now, it's the 1.1200 handle that's led to a bounce for this week. In DXY, there's key support at 100.22, 100 and then 99.18 for bulls to defend into next week. And key resistance is around the 102.00 handle in DXY. - js

DXY Bear Flag: Is the Dollar on Thin Ice ?Hello Traders 🐺
Hope you're doing well.
In my last idea about DXY, I mentioned the possibility of the FED cutting interest rates — and although at the time of writing this update they haven’t made a move yet, several key indicators still suggest that Quantitative Easing (QE) is on the horizon.
If that happens, there’s a strong opportunity to profit from both sides:
→ Shorting the U.S. Dollar
→ Going long on deflationary assets like BTC, Gold, and even selected Altcoins 💰🔥
🔍 Technical Outlook:
As shown on the chart, DXY is currently forming a bear flag, which is typically a bearish continuation pattern.
We could see further downward momentum, especially if price breaks below the green support box.
Also, if you zoom out to higher time frames, the bigger picture is still bearish.
Recent upward movement? Just a classic retest of broken support, which now acts as resistance — as highlighted here:

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.

Check the trend It is expected that a trend change will form at the current resistance level and we will witness the beginning of a downtrend. If the index breaks through the resistance level, the upward trend will continue to the specified resistance levels. Then, there is a possibility of a trend change at this level.
Dollar At Resistance; Will Lower CPI Cause New Drop? We had a volatile start of a new trading week.
The dollar moved higher across the board as the US and China appear to be moving toward lowering tariffs, suggesting progress toward a potential trade deal. As a result, stock futures are also trading to the upside. However, keep in mind that sharp moves on Monday can easily be reversed through the rest of the week, possibly even today, after US CPI came out lower than expected, which can cause some weakness on yeilds, and possibly FED will be ready to cut rates after-all.
So, I think that USD can still come under pressure, especially if we also consider that rise on DXY is in three legs and that a lot fo gaps from this weekend are still unfilled.
DXY Will Go Higher! Long!
Please, check our technical outlook for DXY.
Time Frame: 9h
Current Trend: Bullish
Sentiment: Oversold (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bullish

P.S
Please, note that an oversold/overbought condition can last for a long time, and therefore being oversold/overbought doesn't mean a price rally will come soon, or at all.

DXY Dual Perspective: Smart Money OB Short vs. Mid-Term LongThis chart presents two perspectives:
My Perspective (Dipanshu - GreenFireForex):
Expecting a bearish reversal from the current Order Block (OB) between 101.9 – 103.2, possibly due to inefficiency and early liquidity sweep.
ChatGPT’s Refined Perspective:
OB refined to 102.4 – 103.0 zone, aligning with imbalance and previous H4 structure break. A rejection from there is more probable.
Target:
Both views expect a drop toward the Demand Zone at 96.4 – 96.3, with bullish reversal expected from that key support.
Let’s observe whether the DXY respects early inefficiency or reaches full OB.

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
⚠️ DYOR. Let price confirm before bias is committed.

"DXY is building a textbook bullish flag — here’s exactly where For Traders (technical + confident)
DXY bulls gearing up for a double-leg rally”
1. Context & Market Structure:
After a sharp impulsive drop (green falling wedge), DXY has begun corrective accumulation in an ascending channel.
Current price 99.531 is consolidating inside a broadening bullish flag pattern.
Key Zones:
Major supply zone: 100.500 – 101.000 (highlighted yellow box)
Short-term resistance: 99.700
Short-term support: 98.8Projected Path (2 bullish legs):
First push (red path): Minor pullback → break to ~100.100
Second push (blue path): Consolidation → breakout towards 100.500–101.000 (target zone)
00–98.500
Bias:
Short-term bullish → Targeting supply zone around 100.5–101.0
Invalidation level: Clear break below 98.500 (would negate bullish setup)
>
Trade Idea:
Buy on dips within the ascending flag, targeting 100.100 and 100.500
Watch reaction near supply zone for possible reversal or continuation
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.

eurusd to 1.1265, dxy confluence eurusd mirrors the dollar and from my analysis i anticipate the dxy to gravitate towards the daily volume imbalance 100.80 zone this will cause the euro to plummet to lower prices so i spotted smooth lows of 1.1265 for first target and daily bullish fvg high for final target at 1.12 zone
