DXY 8H – Rejected Key Resistance, Can the Dollar Bounce Back?The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) just got rejected off a key 8H supply zone near the psychological 100 level — failing to reclaim a level that previously acted as major support. With EMAs flattening and macro uncertainty rising, the dollar’s next move will have big implications across global markets. 🔹 Price Structure The $100–$101.50 zone acted as support for months before breaking — and DXY just got rejected on its first retest. The next resistance levels are stacked at $104, $108, and $110, each tied to prior breakdown points and macro peaks. If DXY can't reclaim $100, a slide toward EMA support at ~$98 or even new lows remains in play. 🔹 EMA Signals Price currently hovers between the EMA 50 and EMA 100 — an indecision zone often preceding trend continuation or reversal. A breakdown below both EMAs would confirm momentum is stalling, while a reclaim of $100 could reignite the bullish push. 🔹 Implications for Risk Assets If the dollar weakens from here, we could see renewed upside in crypto and equities. Conversely, a reclaim and surge toward $104+ would likely pressure risk-on markets. Is the DXY topping out — or just gearing up for another leg higher? Let’s talk macro 👇

USD Working Strongest Month Since April 2022After a decisive sell-off ran for most of the first-half of the year, USD bulls have stepped up in July and DXY is currently up 3.3% for the month. That's the strongest monthly outing in the currency since April of 2022- and that's just after the Fed had started their rate hike campaign that year. It led into a massive rally that ran through September as the USD set fresh 20-year highs. The question now is one of continuation, and motive seems to be fairly clear. I've outlined the technical backdrop as this shift has taken place over the past month, as the Dollar held a higher-low last week and that drove into a higher-high this week. There's likely some short squeezing contributing to the rally but with U.S. data remaining strong, and inflation on the way back up, the rate cuts that markets had priced-in back in March and April for 2025 are now in question. This brings attention to the next major item - with Non-farm Payrolls tomorrow morning. On a short-term basis the USD move has already started to show overbought conditions on the four-hour chart, and daily RSI is getting close to the 70-level. So perhaps ideal would be a soft report tomorrow at which point a pullback could show. It's from that that we can see whether bulls will come in to defend higher-lows, and there's now support potential at prior resistance of 99.40 in DXY. If we do see a strong report, the 100 level is the spot for bulls to reckon with and at that point, we may be looking at an overbought RSI scenario on the daily chart - which doesn't necessarily preclude bullish continuation although it will make it more difficult to chase topside breakouts. - js

USD Re-Tests a Familiar Area of SupportBack in April the US Dollar was dropping like a rock. While the sell-off in stocks had stalled by the time we got to Easter, the bearish trend in USD was in full-force, going along with a strong breakout in Gold and many major FX pairs. But it was the low on Easter Monday that finally stalled matters for a bit. That price came in right around the 98.00 level, and led to four weeks of strength, including through the May FOMC rate decision, all the way until the 102-handle came into play. That's where the music stopped for the USD rally in Q2, and sellers went back for another push down to fresh lows that ultimately showed with a fresh three-year-low on day one of Q3. Since then, however, bears have been stalled and there's a couple of different supporting backdrops there, such as the oversold readings that had shown on both the daily and the weekly as we came into Q3, or the falling wedge formation that had built as sellers remained really aggressive at highs or tests of resistance while less so around lows or tests of support. And it's not like July was all that bullish of a month for the USD as we heard Trump continue to press his desire for low rates, including threats to fire FOMC Chair Jerome Powell. And at this stage, markets are pricing in a rate cut in September, along with another by the end of the year and possibly two. So expectations on rates are really low yet, on a relative basis, the USD has held up somewhat well. At this point we're at another major test with the USD re-testing that same spot of support that had come into play in April, around the 98.00 handle in DXY. There's more context for support in the USD down to around 97.60, which helps to create a zone. For USD-weakness, I still think GBP/USD remains as attractive, but for USD-strength, EUR/USD could be an interesting case given the Fibonacci resistance that's started to show there. - js

DOLLAR INDEXDepartments Responsible for Each Economic Report Indicator Responsible Department/Source Average Hourly Earnings m/m U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), part of the Department of Labor Non-Farm Employment Change BLS (Establishment Survey) Unemployment Rate BLS (Household Survey) Final Manufacturing PMI S&P Global/Markit (private company) ISM Manufacturing PMI Institute for Supply Management (ISM, private sector) ISM Manufacturing Prices Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Revised University of Michigan (UoM) Consumer Sentiment University of Michigan (private/public university) Construction Spending m/m U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce Revised UoM Inflation Expectations University of Michigan How the Federal Reserve Interprets “Greater Than” or “Lower Than” Forecast 1. Average Hourly Earnings, 2.Non-Farm Payrolls, 3. Unemployment Rate Higher than forecast (stronger labor market): Tight labor markets (higher wages, more jobs, lower unemployment) suggest inflationary pressure. The Fed may view this as a signal to keep rates higher for longer, as wage and job growth could fuel inflation. Lower than forecast (weaker labor market): Signals cooling in employment and wage growth, reducing upward pressure on inflation. The Fed may see this as justification to consider easing policy or at least pausing further rate hikes. 2. Manufacturing PMIs (ISM, S&P) Above 50: Signals expansion in manufacturing; below 50 indicates contraction. Higher than forecast: Points to stronger economic momentum; the Fed may see upside risks to inflation. Lower than forecast: Indicates weaker manufacturing activity; a possible sign of slowing demand, which could support rate cuts or dovish policy if persistent. 3. ISM Manufacturing Prices Higher than forecast: Suggests inflationary pressures in manufacturing input costs; Fed interprets this as a reason for vigilance on inflation. Lower than forecast: Implies easing input price pressures, supporting a dovish outlook if inflation remains subdued. 4. University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment & Inflation Expectations Stronger than forecast sentiment: Consumers are more optimistic, often a sign of solid spending potential. May amplify inflation if this leads to greater demand. Higher inflation expectations: If consumers expect higher future inflation, this can become self-fulfilling and the Fed may maintain tighter policy. Weaker sentiment/lower inflation expectations: Reduces inflation risk, gives the Fed more flexibility to ease if needed. 5. Construction Spending Higher than forecast: Indicates resilient investment and demand in the real economy. Lower than forecast: Suggests cooling real estate and infrastructure spending; may support a dovish Fed outlook if sustained. Summary Table Data Surprises Interpretation for Fed Policy Higher-than-forecast More hawkish; raises risk of persistent inflation Lower-than-forecast More dovish; reduces pressure to hold rates higher The Fed looks at the overall pattern across these data. Persistent upside surprises heighten concerns about inflation, supporting tighter policy. Downside surprises suggest cooling economic momentum and may encourage future rate cuts or pauses. The relative impact depends on which indicators surprise and the broader economic context. #DXY #DOLLAR

DXY testing 100.00 resistanceThe US dollar index has risen to rest a key resistance area around the 100.00 level. Previously a key support and resistance zone, what happens here could determine the near-term technical direction for the US dollar. Key support below this zone is at 98.95, marking a prior resistance. Given the short-term bullish price structure, I would expect this level to hold if the greenback were to ease back from here. If the bullish momentum gathers pace, then 101.00 could be the next stop, followed by the recent high of 101.97. From a macro point of view, resilient economic data and persistent core inflation concerns continue to support the Federal Reserve’s cautious policy approach. Today’s core PCE inflation reading came in slightly above forecast, at 2.8% year-over-year versus the expected 2.7%. In addition, jobless claims were better than anticipated, registering 218,000 compared to the 224,000 forecast. The Q2 Employment Cost Index also surprised to the upside, rising 0.9% quarter-on-quarter. These figures follow yesterday’s stronger-than-expected GDP report and a solid ADP private payrolls release, further underscoring the strength of the U.S. economy. Attention now turns to Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, which could have a meaningful impact on rate expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized the importance of the unemployment rate as a key metric, so any upside surprise could reinforce the Fed’s current position. However, expectations are not very high for the non-farm payrolls report. Current forecasts suggest an increase of 106,000 jobs, with average weekly earnings rising 0.3% month-over-month, and the unemployment rate edging up to 4.2%. Yet, the scarcity of strong leading indicators this month adds a layer of uncertainty to the outlook. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com

DXY bullish trend The market reaction indicates that the economy remains very strong, and there is no immediate need for the Fed or any central bank action. Powell emphasized that any potential rate cuts will depend on the upcoming data, especially the August reports. As a result, the DXY is expected to remain strong and could rise towards the 104.00–106.00 levels. A potential bearish reversal in the DXY would only be likely if there is significant economic deterioration or a clear shift in Fed policy expectations.

DXYThe Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced on July 30, 2025, that it will maintain the federal funds rate at the current target range of 4.25% to 4.50%. This keeps the rate unchanged from previous meetings, continuing a "wait-and-see" approach amid mixed economic signals. The decision was supported by a 9-2 vote. The committee highlighted that recent data suggests economic activity growth has moderated in the first half of the year, with low unemployment and somewhat elevated inflation. The FOMC indicated it would carefully assess incoming data, the evolving economic outlook, and the balance of risks before making further adjustments. There is no rate cut at this meeting, but the Fed remains attentive to risks on both sides of its dual mandate of maximizing employment and achieving inflation around 2%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the need for additional data, particularly regarding the impact of tariffs on inflation and economic conditions, before changing policy. The economy showed stronger-than-expected second-quarter growth, but inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, contributing to the decision to hold rates steady. The committee's stance reflects caution despite pressure from political sources to cut rates. The next FOMC meeting after this one will be in September 2025, and some economists predict a possible rate cut then depending on economic developments. Powell's press conference and the FOMC statement will be closely analyzed for any subtle shifts in policy tone or outlook. In summary: Federal funds rate maintained at 4.25% - 4.50% Economic growth moderated but remains solid Low unemployment, inflation somewhat elevated Fed is data-dependent and cautious No rate cut for now but possible in September This is consistent with the ongoing approach since late 2024 of holding rates steady to balance inflation control and support for the labor market.

Technical Analysis of the US Dollar Index (DXY) | 4-Hour Timefr🟢 Technical Analysis of the US Dollar Index (DXY) | 4-Hour Timeframe On the 4-hour chart, the US Dollar Index has recently formed a Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) structure and is now positioned on a significant support level. This area can play a critical role in traders' decision-making for the next move. ✅ Current Situation: After the initial drop, the price entered a short-term base/consolidation phase, then continued its decline and is now testing a demand zone (support). In this structure, two potential scenarios are worth considering: 🔼 Bullish Scenario: If the price reacts positively to this support zone: A rebound toward previous supply areas is likely. Holding above the first resistance could indicate a temporary or even long-term trend reversal. This level may provide a low-risk entry opportunity for buyers targeting a reversal. 🔽 Bearish Scenario: If selling pressure continues and the current support breaks: A further drop as part of a third wave (impulse) may unfold. Lower support zones would become the next target areas for sellers.

Breakout from the channel again?After a long period of ranging, the DXY finally managed to break the range's ceiling last week and even gave us a channel confirmation afterward. But if you remember, there were several major news events last week, with the last one on Friday causing the price to fall back into the range. Now we can see that an ascending channel has formed inside the range, and the price is currently at the bottom of that channel. If it manages to break out of the channel again, there’s a chance that this time the trend might truly reverse.

DXY is testing the descending trend line, breakout happening? The US dollar firmed as Trump's escalating tariff threats, from pharma to Indian exports, amplified trade tensions and boosted safe-haven flows. Despite rising global uncertainty, optimism over a possible US-China trade truce extension and a sharply narrower trade deficit also underpinned dollar strength. DXY retreated below the descending trend line and the ascending channel's upper bound. The price is consolidating below the 100.00 psychological resistance, which aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement. A rebound from the support at 98.00, in line with the ascending channel's lower bound, could prompt a retest of the channel's resistance, paving the way for further gains toward the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement and 102.00 resistance, upon breaking 100.00. Conversely, a bearish breakout of the channel and close below the 98.00 support could prompt a further decline toward the following support at 97.00.
