DXY SHORT? ## 📉 **DXY Bearish Setup for 2025 – Fed Cuts, Fiscal Strain, Technical Breakdown** ### 🧠 Thesis The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is poised to remain under pressure through the rest of 2025 due to macro, policy, and technical headwinds. With the Fed preparing for multiple rate cuts, rising fiscal imbalances, and a strong global diversification away from USD, the broader trend points **downward**. --- ### 🔍 Fundamentals Driving USD Weakness * **Federal Reserve Pivot**: 2–3 rate cuts expected in 2025 → erodes USD yield advantage. * **Surging U.S. Deficits**: Debt-to-GDP nearing 130%, undermining investor confidence. * **De-dollarization Trend**: Central banks diversifying reserves (yuan, gold, euro). * **Political Noise**: Tariff risk + weak-dollar narrative from Trump camp adds pressure. --- ### 📊 Technical Outlook (1D/1W Charts) * DXY is trading below **9/20/50 EMA**. * RSI \~43 with hidden bearish divergence. * Clear **descending channel** since mid-2024. * Key **support zone: 97.90 – 96.40**. * Below 97.90 opens path toward 96.00–95.00. --- ### 🛠️ Trade Setup | Type | Short (swing/position) | | -------- | ---------------------- | | Entry | Break below 98.00 | | Target 1 | 96.40 | | Target 2 | 95.00 | | SL | Above 99.50 | | R\:R | \~2.5:1 | --- ### ⚠️ Risks * Surprise inflation → Fed pauses cuts * Safe haven bid from geopolitical shocks * Strong upside breakout >101.00 = trend invalidation --- ### 💬 Final Note As long as DXY remains below 99.50, rallies are selling opportunities. Watch the 97.90–98.00 level — a confirmed breakdown could mark a fresh leg lower toward 95.00 by year-end. --- ### 🏷️ Tags `#DXY` `#USD` `#DollarIndex` `#Forex` `#Macro` `#Bearish` `#TradingSetup` `#ShortUSD` ---

U.S. Dollar Index Loses Key Support – Crypto Bull Run Loading?The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has just broken below a long-term ascending channel, which has held since 2008. After losing the key horizontal support (~100 level), DXY retested and rejected from it (red circle), confirming a potential trend reversal. The move is technically significant and hints at further downside, possibly toward the 88–90 zone or lower. This breakdown aligns with classic macro cycles, where a weaker dollar often fuels bullish momentum in risk assets, especially crypto. Historically: -DXY downtrends in 2017 and 2020–2021 coincided with major Bitcoin and altcoin bull runs. -DXY strength during 2018 and 2022 contributed to crypto bear markets. With DXY now below both horizontal and diagonal support, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market may be entering the next expansion phase, especially if the dollar continues its downward trajectory -DXY has broken below a 17 year rising channel – a macro bearish signal. -Rejection from former support turned resistance confirms breakdown. -A falling DXY historically corresponds with Bitcoin rallies and altseason expansions. -Declining dollar strength could be the fuel that propels Bitcoin past $140K and Ethereum above $6K. -A dollar bear trend may fuel total crypto market cap breakout beyond $4T+. As DXY weakens, liquidity tends to rotate into risk-on assets like crypto. This setup mirrors pre-bull run environments seen in 2017 and 2020. A structural breakdown in the dollar could act as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s next major leg up. Cheers Hexa

Just a bounce off or a real trend reversal?DXY sits on a major support zone. Price often delivers a reflex bounce at strong levels before continuing the prevailing trend, so a quick pop isn’t proof of a new bull run. DXY is closely linked to US real yields (10y TIPS): if real yields roll over as the Fed eases, USD strength likely fades; if real yields stay firm, a durable reversal is more plausible. This post is for informational/educational purposes only and is not investment advice or a solicitation to buy/sell any security. Past performance is not indicative of future results. I may hold positions related to the instruments mentioned.

DXY UPDATE FOR LONG as we forecast a long term this an update The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday rose by +0.22% and posted a 5-week high. The dollar has carryover support from Monday following the EU-US trade deal that is seen as favoring the US. Also, expectations for the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at the end of Wednesday's 2-day FOMC meeting are supportive of the dollar. The dollar extended its gains after the US Jun advance goods trade deficit unexpectedly shrank, a supportive factor for Q2 GDP, and after July consumer confidence rose more than expected.

U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) – July 30, 2025 | 15-Min Chart1. **Range-Bound Structure** DXY is consolidating between 98.588 support and 99.134 resistance. The 98.68–98.74 zone has acted as demand, but repeated retests show weakening buyer interest. 2. **Failed Breakouts** Multiple rejections at 99.134 indicate it's a trap zone where sellers absorb buy-side pressure. 3. **Bearish Momentum Signs** Lower highs and wicks into resistance with weak closes suggest distribution. Momentum likely shows bearish divergence. 4. **Critical Levels** * **Support:** 98.588 — a break below this opens downside potential. * **Resistance:** 99.134 — bulls need a strong breakout above this for continuation to 99.41+. Summary: Sellers dominate below 99.134. If 98.588 breaks, expect bearish continuation. Only a confirmed breakout above 99.134 shifts bias bullish.

Interesting few days ahead... USD pairs approaching key levelsDXY is finishing a HTF consolidation and is approaching medium-term key areas. Other USD pairs are also in areas where they could aggressively turn around. EURUSD just finished a H4 3-touch continuation flag and is starting to stall on the 3rd touch, suggesting indecision in the markets. Considering the news events in the next 3 days, starting today with USD advanced GDP data, we could see volatility kicking in on these key levels. We do need a catalyst to push price into a larger directional move, and we are prime positioned for the next leg. Technically, a breakout in both directions would make sense in these areas. Time to set alarms and be vigilant but not jump into trades too early, considering NFP on Friday as well. *** **** **** 📈 Simplified Trading Rules: > Follow a Valid Sequence > Wait for Continuation > Confirm Entry (valid candlestick pattern) > Know When to Exit (SL placement) Remember, technical analysis is subjective; develop your own approach. I use this format primarily to hold myself accountable and to share my personal market views.

US Dollar Index: Down YTD, But at a 5-Week HighThe U.S. dollar plays a leading role in the performance of U.S. stocks versus international stocks. The greenback endured its worst first-half performance since 1973, helping ex-U.S. equities post massive absolute and relative gains through June. But could the narrative be shifting? And what might it mean for investors? The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) sits at a five-week high ahead of the July Federal Reserve interest rate decision and the key July jobs report to be released on August 1. Up four sessions in a row, the dollar appears poised to post its best month since last December (in fact, the DXY's first positive month of 2025). If it’s the start of a protracted recovery, then the “U.S. exceptionalism” trade could be back in vogue over the second half, resulting in the same old story of U.S. over international in the stock market.

Key Events That Could Shape the Dollar This Week🇺🇸 Key Events That Could Shape the Dollar This Week Three major catalysts are on the radar for USD traders: 📊 ADP Employment Report 💰 Advance GDP (Q2) 🧠 Fed Chair Powell’s Speech Additionally, ongoing trade developments with the EU may add to volatility. 📊 1. ADP Employment Report The July ADP report is forecast to show 82K job additions. While this may seem consistent with recent NFP strength, several red flags suggest growing labor market weakness: Decline in labor force participation Slowing wage growth Emerging contraction signals in the services sector Even if ADP meets expectations, it may not reflect broad-based labor market health. Historically, ADP and NFP have often diverged—so the market reaction may be muted unless the data surprises meaningfully. 💰 2. Advance GDP (Q2) Q2 GDP is expected to show modest growth, possibly supported by: Higher tariff revenues boosting government income A weaker dollar improving export competitiveness Reduced imports due to elevated import costs However, much of this growth is likely nominal rather than real. With inflation remaining sticky, headline GDP may be inflated by price effects rather than true economic expansion. Real GDP could remain flat or weak. 🧠 3. Fed Chair Powell’s Speech This is arguably the most market-sensitive event of the week. Goldman Sachs and other major banks believe the recent resilience in U.S. data lowers the chances of a rate cut at this meeting. However, political dynamics could add nuance: With Donald Trump actively campaigning—and reportedly pressuring the Fed to ease rates to boost exports and growth—Powell may face a fine balancing act in his tone. Markets will dissect every word for clues on future policy. 🌐 U.S.-EU Trade Developments The U.S. recently announced a new trade agreement with the EU, including a 15% tariff on selected European imports. In the short term, this could be dollar-supportive, as it: Favors domestic producers Reduces reliance on imports Potentially improves the trade balance Yet over the longer term, such tariffs can be inflationary and disrupt global supply chains—possibly complicating the Fed’s decision-making. ⚠️ Final Thought In times of policy uncertainty, markets lose their predictability. Tariffs, in particular, often have a stronger and more immediate impact than calendar-based economic data. As a result, traders must monitor trade-related news and tariff decisions just as closely—if not more—than traditional economic releases in order to stay ahead of market direction and central bank decisions.
