DXYUSD daily guidance is neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 42% DXY, 58% CASH.
*MINOR SUPPORT WATCH. US Midterm elections are underway and the polls are getting ready to close soon, Republicans are expected to control both the House and Senate when the results come in. DXY, US Long-Term Treasuries, CNYUSD, Metals, Agriculture and Cryptos are all down. While Equities, Equity Futures, JPYUSD, GBPUSD, EURUSD, VIX and Energy all finished higher on the day. In a calamitous day that sent shockwaves through the entire Crypto industry, FTX experienced a liquidity crunch due to investors fleeing their exchange token FTT en masse after reports surfaced on 11/06 of Alameda Research (partner crypto trading firm) possibly not being as solvent as people thought. This inspired Binance to one-up their initial investment in FTX (that they exited last year) by acquiring all of FTX (excluding FTX.US) in a strategic transaction to provide liquidity to the struggling exchange. FTX CEO and Co-Founder Sam Bankman Fried was ranked the 95th wealthiest person in the world just yesterday with a $15.6b estimated net worth; now, after the biggest one-day collapse (94%) ever among billionaires tracked by Bloomberg, his net worth is estimated to be $1b. This event sent almost all Cryptos down 20%+ as investors feared what kind of ripple effects such a big player (FTX) going down in the industry would have on the broader market.
Equities and Cryptos showed another case of decoupling with Equities finishing higher for a fourth consecutive session on the expected Red Sweep in Congress, the CPI print on Thursday will be telling in how far this rally in Equities has to go. Today, Xi Jinping inspected the joint operations command center of the Central Military Commission as part of an effort to enhance combat preparedness, he was even quoted as saying that "the entire military should devote all its energy to, and carry out all its work for, combat readiness" to "enhance its capability to fight and win and effectively fulfill its missions and tasks in the new era". It's become quite clear that China will likely invade Taiwan later this year or in 2023 with Taiwan continuing to make independent decisions like investing $10m in chip production in Lithuania as well as "colluding with external forces" (meeting with world leaders that recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state). The US has information regarding North Korea supplying Russia with weapons, North Korea is one of the few countries in the world to openly recognize Russia's proclaimed territories in Ukraine.

Price is currently testing $110 minor support for the third consecutive session and risks losing support of the 50MA if it breaks below $110. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $113.05, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending sideways at 41 and is technically retesting 39.43 support for the second consecutive session. Stochastic is currently bearish and is beginning to form a trough at 15, the next support is at 9. MACD remains bearish and is currently trending down at -0.30 as it approaches a test of -0.38 support for the first time since April 2021. ADX has been forming a soft trough at 14 for three consecutive sessions as Price struggles to find buying momentum, this is neutral at the moment but if ADX starts to go up as Price goes down this would be mildly bearish.
If Price is able to bounce here and defend $110 support then it will likely retest the 50MA as resistance at ~$111.25. However, if Price continues to breakdown here, it will lose $110 support and likely retest $108 support. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $110.03.
