Major Reversal Symbol Flashing for $DXY

Short
TVC:DXY   U.S. Dollar Index
The "TBO" indicator was created to show the strength of the trend as well as show breakout and reversal signs. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been an important metric for gauging the sentiment of TradFi markets (SPX, DJI, FANG, XAUUSD) as well as crypto markets (BTC, ETH, TOTAL), which means that all TradFi and crypto traders should be paying attention to this chart for two reasons:
  • If DXY is bullish, TradFi and crypto markets tend to trend bearish
  • If DXY is bearish or consolidating (moving sideways), TradFi and crypto markets tend to trend bullish and are more susceptible to bullish breakouts (like we've seen market-wide since November 2022)
So going back to the "TBO" indicator and its importance in showing DXY's sentiment, when looking at the current day (February 17th) we can clearly see several "TBO" Close Short symbols (the orange diamonds below the candles). These symbols tell us that the trend could be reversing soon, and that we should consider taking some profits out of our short position.

With this information in mind, and judging by past performance of the "TBO" Close Short symbols indicating upside reversals, we will be paying even more attention to three of these such symbols printed in a "cluster," indicating a stronger possibility for DXY to move to the upside, thus resulting in bearish sentiment for TradFi and crypto.

There is no way of knowing how long a supposed upside reversal will last according to the TBO, so caution must be exercised moving forward.

*Note: the "TBO" indicator is written with quotation marks because there is an existing ticker for TBO, which is not related to the Trending Break-out indicator. To prevent hyperlinks from showing every time we type TBO, we have added quotation marks.
