Momentum Breakout into Strength | D-H Flip ConfirmedStrong continuation from last session’s impulsive push.
I caught my move during the Tokyo impulsive hour after price broke cleanly above 4175 — confirming a momentum breakout setup on the 15-min chart.
The previous Daily High (4191.2) has now flipped into solid support, reinforcing the bullish narrative I’ve been tracking since the start of the week.
My original weekly target was 4200 — we’ve exceeded that level now, and the momentum still looks healthy.
Price action is slowing ahead of the London session, which could set the stage for another expansion leg. If bullish pressure holds, I’m watching 4230–4250 next, with 4500 as a stretch target.

DXY Weekly Outlook (Count 3)This is a weekly timeframe outlook of the TVC:DXY . This is in alignment with my previously posted outlook which so far is playing out close to how I expected. This shows the wider view of what I think could be playing out. Still targeting the same yellow zone for a potential termination of the yellow (C) wave, after which we could see a counter trend consolidation. Current price action on the lower timeframe looks like it is forming a bearish flat correction which could be wave 2 in red. I'll look get a lower time frame update together, when time allows.

DXY: The Dollar’s Long Cycle — Heading Back to 9/11 Levels?The U.S. Dollar Index ( INDEX:DXY ) has navigated through decades of pivotal global shifts — from the end of the Gold Standard and the 1979 Oil Crisis to the Plaza Accord, the Global Financial Crisis, and now the post-pandemic monetary reset.
Each of these events marked critical macro turning points — and each time the dollar found new structural strength after major dislocations.
Now, DXY has consolidated above long-term resistance and appears to be building energy for another leg higher.
If history rhymes, we may see the dollar rally toward the levels reached during the aftermath of the September 11 attacks — a zone that historically represented both global uncertainty and U.S. capital inflows.
Bias: Bullish
Target Zone: 120–122
Timeframe: Multi-year (monthly chart perspective)
Gold Off to the Races | No Pullbacks, Just PressureNew week and Gold came out the gate running. Momentum’s been relentless — no pullbacks, no hesitation.
Price is still riding strong from last week’s 8HR FVG base, and now pressing into new highs around 4,150+.
With global tension fueling safe-haven demand, this could be a continuation week — but it’s getting stretched.
Watching 4,070–4,081 for possible re-entry if we get a midweek dip.
A close below 4,100 could signal exhaustion, while staying above keeps bulls firmly in control.
⚖️ Staying patient, no chasing — letting the market show if this leg still has fuel.

DXY: Key Reversal or Dead Cat Bounce?The U.S. Dollar Index has found footing around the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement near 97.8, breaking a long downtrend. Its push toward the 99.35–100 range suggests a possible retest of a broken structure and alignment with the 50-day EMA. I noticed this move also aligns with short-term recovery signals.
Technical View (1D)
RSI climbing above 50 hints at renewed momentum.
MACD turning green shows early signs of follow-through.
Price is testing 100–101, a former support turned resistance.
If momentum holds, 102, 104, and 106 are the next resistance zones.
Support remains steady at 98, 97, and 95.8, which are shown as strong confluence points with Fibonacci structure.
Scenarios:
If DXY closes above 100.3, I’d expect continuation toward 102.4 or 104.2.
Failure to clear 100 followed by a drop under 98.5 could send it back toward 97.2 or even 95.8.
For now, my bias stays neutral to slightly bullish in the short term. A clean breakout above 100 would confirm a structural shift upward. None the less, I’m watching U.S. yields and upcoming CPI data closely and considering the factor that stronger inflation or a hawkish Fed tone could fuel the next DXY leg higher.
Thank you for your time and support, and as always please remember that this is always NFA and DYOFR, respectfully.
SILVER (XAGUSD) 15M – Bearish Rejection Setup Ahead TVC:SILVER
Structure | Trend | Key Reaction Zones
Price reached the accumulation + resistance zone, facing repeated rejections.
Structure is forming a lower-high pattern beneath the descending trendline.
If the rejection confirms, a sharp drop toward the next liquidity pool (49.00 area) can follow.
Market Overview
Silver has been ranging within a broad accumulation zone after rejecting the upper resistance region around 50.8–51.2. The market shows weakness near the top of the channel, hinting at a bearish continuation phase. If momentum fails to break above the diagonal resistance, a downside move toward 49.5–49.0 becomes highly probable before a possible reaction from the strong demand box.
Key Scenarios
✅ Bearish Case 📉 → 🎯 Target 1: 49.52 | 🎯 Target 2: 49.03 | 🎯 Target 3: 48.70
❌ Bullish Case 🚀 → 🎯 Target 1: 50.80 | 🎯 Target 2: 51.20 (if resistance breaks cleanly)
Current Levels to Watch
Resistance 🔴 : 50.80 – 51.20
Support 🟢 : 49.50 – 49.00 – 48.70

🚀
Structure | Trend | Key Reaction Zones
Price reacted strongly from the strong demand box, confirming a potential bullish reversal zone.
After sweeping liquidity below the previous low, BTC reclaimed structure and is now pushing upward
If the yellow demand area (112–113 zone) holds, the market is likely preparing for the next impulsive move toward 120.
Market Overview
Bitcoin has completed a textbook liquidity grab beneath previous lows, followed by a clean recovery candle, signaling smart money absorption. The current move shows bullish intent as the market breaks short-term resistance. Holding above the demand box could trigger continuation toward 117–120, aligning with overall bullish structure reaccumulation after a major drop.
Key Scenarios
✅ Bullish Case 🚀 → 🎯 Target 1: 117 | 🎯 Target 2: 119 | 🎯 Target 3: 120
❌ Bearish Case 📉 → 🎯 Downside Target 1: 112 (if demand fails) | 🎯 Target 2: 109

Dollar Index (DXY): More Growth is Coming
Dollar Index keeps recovering.
The market managed to violate a significant resistance cluster yesterday

Gold – Sitting on 8HR FVG Support Before CPI | Patience RequiredPrice rejected before taking yesterday’s high and is now sitting right on top of the 8HR FVG. We’ve finally got a clean retrace into structure after a week of impulsive bullish movement.
I’m watching how price behaves here going into NY session + CPI release — this zone could be where the next leg starts if buyers step in.
📍 Key Levels:
4,077 → Liquidity above previous high
4,020 → Bullish confirmation zone
3,960 → Deep test into FVG
If the market holds above 3,980 and shows strength, I’m expecting continuation toward 4,060–4,100+.
If it fails and closes under 3,960, we could see a deeper correction first.
⚖️ Staying patient — news will likely reveal the real intent.
— Woodz | #NOFOMO
Gold Futures – Pre-Killzone WatchPrice spent all of yesterday grinding bullish with strong impulsive legs, but things are finally slowing down near the highs. We’re now seeing signs that the market might be ready for a pullback or liquidity grab before deciding its next leg.
Current Range: 4,005 (D-L) → 4,081 (D-H)
Bias: Bullish overall, but watching for short-term weakness.
Gameplan:
Look for a possible sweep above 4,081 during London or NY Killzone.
If we get a sharp rejection or displacement after that sweep, I’ll be interested in a sell setup targeting the 4,046–4,005 range.
If price holds above 4,046 and forms clean FVGs, continuation to 4,100+ stays on the table.
This is the pause before the next move. No reason to front-run it — I’ll let the killzone reveal where the liquidity really wants to go.
💭 Patience pays — wait for the sweep and shift.

XAUUSD Gold to 4KTimeline is 6 months - 2 years
The crash has already started. At some point everyone will start to sell thier treasury bonds, yields will go up proportionally to inflation until the dollar loses it's status as the global currency and dramatic measures are used to stop inflation resulting in stagflation and yield recovery. Else hyper inflation and the dollar is replaced entirely.

Fundamental Market Analysis for October 7, 2025 EURUSDThe euro (EUR) is weakening against the US dollar (USD) after France's new Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and his government resigned on Monday, just hours after the cabinet was announced.
Sébastien Lecornu resigned just a few weeks after his appointment, making his government the shortest-lived in modern French history. This raises concerns about a new political crisis in France and puts some pressure on the euro.
The ongoing US government shutdown may raise concerns about its impact on the country's economy, which could lead to a decline in the dollar and become a favorable factor for the main currency pair.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points (bps) at its October meeting amid signs of a weakening labor market.
Trade recommendation: SELL 1.1665, SL 1.1745, TP 1.1480
DXY Watching 98.800 Resistance as Shutdown Risks Weigh on DollarHey Traders, in today’s trading session we are monitoring DXY for a potential selling opportunity around the 98.800 zone. The Dollar Index remains in a broader downtrend and is currently in a correction phase, with price approaching a key daily resistance area.
Structure: The market has been forming lower highs, consistent with bearish momentum. The 98.800 level aligns with both structural resistance and trendline rejection zones.
Fundamentals: The ongoing US government shutdown continues to pressure sentiment around the Dollar. The longer the impasse persists, the higher the risk of fiscal strain and downside pressure on the USD.
Next move: Watching how price reacts around 98.800 — a rejection here could confirm further downside continuation in line with the prevailing trend.
Trade safe,
Joe.

De-Dollarization and the Global Currency WarIntroduction: The Shifting Sands of Global Finance
For decades, the United States dollar (USD) has reigned supreme as the world’s dominant reserve currency — the central pillar of global trade, finance, and economic stability. From oil transactions to international debt settlements, the dollar became more than just a currency; it was the bloodstream of globalization. But in recent years, a strong wave of economic nationalism, geopolitical rivalry, and strategic diversification has begun to challenge this hegemony — a process known as “de-dollarization.”
Simultaneously, we’re witnessing an intensifying “currency war” — a global competition among nations to protect their economic sovereignty, control exchange rates, and reduce dependency on U.S.-led monetary influence. Together, de-dollarization and currency warfare are reshaping the financial map of the 21st century, with implications that reach from the energy markets of the Middle East to the central banks of Asia and Latin America.
This 2000-word analysis dives deep into the rise of de-dollarization, explores its causes and strategies, examines the mechanics of currency wars, and forecasts the potential shape of the next global monetary order.
1. The Roots of Dollar Dominance
After World War II, the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement established the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, pegged to gold at $35 per ounce. Other global currencies were tied to the dollar, making it the foundation of postwar economic stability. Even after President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard in 1971, the dollar retained its dominance because of its stability, liquidity, and the economic might of the United States.
By the late 20th century, the dollar had become:
The primary reserve currency, held by central banks worldwide.
The medium of international trade, particularly in oil (the “petrodollar” system).
The currency of global finance, underpinning stock markets, bonds, and derivatives.
In short, control of the dollar meant control of the global economic bloodstream — and this financial power translated into political leverage.
2. What Is De-Dollarization?
De-dollarization refers to the deliberate process of reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar in international trade, finance, and reserves. It’s not about completely abandoning the dollar, but about diversifying away from it to limit vulnerability to U.S. monetary policy and sanctions.
Countries and blocs leading this movement include:
China, promoting the yuan (renminbi) in global trade.
Russia, moving away from dollar-based settlements after sanctions.
BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, now joined by others) working toward a shared currency system.
Middle Eastern countries, exploring non-dollar oil transactions.
Latin America and Africa, forming regional trade agreements in local currencies.
The motivation? A mix of economic independence, geopolitical resilience, and strategic competition.
3. The Key Drivers Behind De-Dollarization
(a) U.S. Sanctions and Weaponization of Finance
The U.S. uses its control over global payment systems (like SWIFT and dollar-clearing banks) as a geopolitical tool. Nations such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia have faced financial exclusion through U.S. sanctions.
This has sparked fear among emerging economies that dollar dependency exposes them to political risk — accelerating efforts to create alternative payment systems (e.g., China’s CIPS, Russia’s SPFS, and India’s RuPay/UPI cross-border systems).
(b) Rise of China and the Yuan
China’s economic growth and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have given the yuan increasing global exposure. Beijing aims to internationalize its currency by encouraging trade in yuan and developing offshore yuan markets (especially in Hong Kong, Singapore, and London).
(c) The BRICS Challenge
The BRICS alliance has emerged as a collective front against Western economic dominance. The bloc’s discussions around a BRICS common currency or a gold-backed trade settlement system indicate a long-term ambition to challenge dollar supremacy.
(d) U.S. Debt and Inflation
The U.S. government’s rising national debt (over $34 trillion) and the repeated use of quantitative easing have weakened confidence in the dollar’s stability. Countries fear that excessive dollar printing could erode their reserves’ value, prompting diversification into gold, the yuan, and other currencies.
(e) Digital Currencies and Blockchain
Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) offer new pathways for global payments. China’s digital yuan is leading this race, aiming to bypass the traditional dollar-based banking infrastructure entirely.
4. The Mechanics of a Global Currency War
A currency war, also known as “competitive devaluation,” occurs when countries intentionally lower the value of their own currencies to boost exports, attract foreign investment, and reduce trade deficits.
How It Works:
By devaluing their currency, a country’s goods become cheaper abroad.
This can strengthen exports but also increases import costs and inflation.
When multiple countries engage in this simultaneously, global financial instability can follow — hence the term “war.”
Historical Examples:
1930s Great Depression: Nations devalued currencies to recover from economic collapse.
1980s U.S.-Japan tension: Japan’s yen appreciation reshaped global trade.
2010s “Currency War 2.0”: After the financial crisis, countries used ultra-loose monetary policy and quantitative easing to stay competitive.
Today, the modern currency war involves not just exchange rates but geopolitical influence, payment systems, and financial infrastructure.
5. De-Dollarization and Currency Wars: The Modern Battlefield
In the 2020s, de-dollarization and currency competition have become two sides of the same coin. The following arenas illustrate this growing conflict:
(a) Energy Markets
The traditional petrodollar system — oil sold in U.S. dollars — is under strain.
China and Russia have signed major energy contracts in yuan and rubles, while Saudi Arabia has hinted at accepting non-dollar payments for oil. The India-UAE rupee-dirham trade settlement is another example of regional diversification.
(b) Central Bank Reserves
According to IMF data, the dollar’s share of global reserves has declined from 70% in 2000 to around 58% in 2024, marking a slow but steady erosion. Central banks are increasing holdings in gold, yuan, and euro, signaling a rebalancing of trust.
(c) Cross-Border Settlements
Nations are exploring bilateral trade agreements in local currencies — for instance, India-Russia rupee-ruble trade, China-Brazil yuan settlement, and ASEAN nations’ local currency framework.
(d) Digital Currency Warfare
With the U.S. lagging in CBDC development, countries like China are pioneering digital payment systems that can function independently of SWIFT and U.S. banking oversight. This could redefine how international money moves in the next decade.
6. Winners and Losers in the De-Dollarization Era
Winners:
Emerging Economies – Greater autonomy over monetary policy and trade settlements.
China and BRICS Members – Enhanced global financial influence and regional cooperation.
Commodity Exporters – Ability to price goods in multiple currencies.
Gold and Digital Asset Markets – Investors view these as alternative stores of value amid dollar uncertainty.
Losers:
U.S. Financial System – Reduced demand for U.S. Treasury bonds and the dollar may weaken the U.S. fiscal position.
Dollar-Debt Dependent Nations – Countries heavily indebted in dollars could face volatility.
Global Investors – Increased currency risk and reduced liquidity in traditional markets.
7. Is a New Global Currency Order Emerging?
While de-dollarization is gaining traction, a complete end to dollar dominance is unlikely in the short term. The U.S. still has unmatched advantages:
The deepest financial markets in the world.
Global trust in its institutions and legal system.
Military and geopolitical clout backing the currency’s credibility.
However, the trend is unmistakable — the world is slowly transitioning toward a multipolar currency system, where the dollar, euro, yuan, and possibly regional digital currencies coexist in a competitive balance.
Future trade blocs might operate on multi-currency platforms, and international reserves could become more diversified.
8. The Future: Cooperation or Confrontation?
The next decade could unfold in one of two broad scenarios:
Scenario 1: Cooperative Multipolarity
Nations collaborate through institutions like the IMF, BRICS Bank, and AIIB, building systems that support currency diversity while maintaining global liquidity. In this world, de-dollarization doesn’t mean destruction — it means balance.
Scenario 2: Financial Fragmentation
Geopolitical rivalry intensifies, creating currency blocs (USD-based, yuan-based, euro-based). Trade becomes more regionalized, and financial flows become fragmented. This could lead to volatility, capital flight, and higher transaction costs worldwide.
In either case, technological innovation — from digital currencies to blockchain trade settlements — will play a defining role in shaping monetary competition.
Conclusion: The Dawn of a New Financial Era
De-dollarization and the currency war are not isolated economic trends; they are strategic transformations redefining how power is distributed across nations. What began as a defensive move by a few sanctioned countries has evolved into a systemic global recalibration of monetary order.
The dollar will likely remain powerful, but its monopoly is fading. The 21st-century global economy may no longer be built around a single currency but around a network of competing and cooperating monetary systems.
For traders, policymakers, and investors, this means one thing: the world of finance is entering a new era — more decentralized, more digital, and more dynamic than ever before.
Gold Futures (MGC) – No Pullback, Just Pure StrengthPrice never offered a clean pullback yesterday — just an aggressive continuation straight through prior structure. That type of behavior usually signals either institutional repricing or momentum fueled by broader uncertainty (like the ongoing U.S. government shutdown risk).
🔹 Bias: Bullish until a clear break of intraday structure
🔹 Current Levels:
‣ W-H: 3922.8
‣ M-H: 3899.5
‣ D-L: 3909.0
💡 Notes:
Price is extremely extended, but until we see evidence of rejection or a 1H BOS (break of structure), the path of least resistance remains up. I’m watching closely for a controlled pullback into demand — ideally near 3920–3900 — to join the next wave higher.
Still keeping an eye on news risk tonight; if the shutdown proceeds, volatility could spike and disrupt the structure.
