DXY - Silent, Structure in Compression, Destiny in Expansion. ⊣ ⟁ DXY / U.S. Dollar Currency Index - TVC - (CHART: 1D) - (Aug 19, 2025). ◇ Analysis Price: 98.035. ⊣ ⨀ I. Temporal Axis - Strategic Interval - (1D): ✴️ Note: The DXY (TVC) does not provide native volume data; therefore, flow-based indicators (OBV, MFI) are substituted by ADX (14) to quantify trend strength. ▦ EMA9 - $98.139: ∴ The current price ($98.035) is positioned below the EMA9 - ($98.139), affirming short-term pressure from sellers; ∴ The slope of the EMA9 is flat to slightly downward, indicating the loss of bullish traction in the most immediate timeframe; ∴ The EMA9 is located beneath both the EMA21 and the EMA50, confirming the presence of a “bearish stacking” alignment. ✴️ Conclusion: The micro-trend remains subdued under short-term resistance. The immediate ceiling is defined at ~98.14, and failure to close above reinforces continuous seller control. ⊢ ▦ EMA21 - $98.221: ∴ The price remains below the EMA21, which represents tactical control by sellers in the intermediate horizon; ∴ The fact that EMA9 < EMA21 demonstrates that rebound attempts will likely fail beneath 98.22; ∴ The EMA21 is in direct confluence with the Bollinger Band midline, magnifying the importance of 98.22 as a structural pivot. ✴️ Conclusion: The 98.22 zone is the primary tactical battleground; daily closure above would reduce immediate bearish pressure and open short-term relief potential. ⊢ ▦ EMA50 - $98.477: ∴ The price resides below EMA50, and EMA21 is positioned below EMA50, both confirming the persistence of a downward-leaning intermediate trend; ∴ The EMA50 itself is sloping gently downward, acting as a supply zone between $98.45 / $98.50; ∴ Rejections have occurred repeatedly below the $98.5 region, validating this level as the medium-term structural ceiling. ✴️ Conclusion: The $98.45 / $98.50 range is the second barrier; only a sustained close above this threshold neutralizes the existing bearish framework. ⊢ ▦ BB (21, 2) - $96.815 / $98.221 / $99.628: ∴ Current price oscillates around the midline ($98.22) but is positioned slightly below, keeping price action inside the lower quadrant of the bands; ∴ Bandwidth is approximately 2.81 points (~2.9% of the midline), which signals suppressed volatility and relative compression; ∴ The upper band at $99.63 and the lower band at $96.82 establish the immediate operational box. ✴️ Conclusion: A compression regime dominates; the probability of false breakouts increases as long as ADX remains below threshold levels. ⊢ ▦ RSI (21, 9) - RSI 47.75 / Signal 48.17: ∴ The RSI remains below the neutral 50 line, maintaining a neutral-to-bearish bias; ∴ RSI is positioned beneath its signal line, reinforcing waning momentum; ∴ No oversold or overbought extremes are present, leaving ample room for mean-reversion moves in either direction; ∴ The RSI lost its bullish inclination after the early-August peak, revealing that bullish momentum has dissipated. ✴️ Conclusion: Relative strength is fragile and biased downward; pressure persists, though without signs of exhaustion. ⊢ ▦ MACD (9, 21, 9) - MACD Line: −0.085 | Signal: −0.082 | Spread ≈ −0.003: ∴ Both MACD line and Signal line remain below zero, sustaining the negative macro momentum regime; ∴ The spread between MACD and Signal line is marginally negative (−0.003), illustrating momentum compression and indecision; ∴ The histogram bars are shallow, suggesting the likelihood of sideways “chop” until a decisive expansion occurs; ∴ No evidence yet of either bullish or bearish acceleration; instead, momentum is locked in equilibrium. ✴️ Conclusion: Residual bearish momentum persists, but without traction. A valid directional impulse requires expansion of the spread. ⊢ ▦ ADX (14) - 13.22: ∴ ADX at 13.22 is significantly below the 20 threshold, confirming a non-trending market; ∴ Under low volatility and low ADX conditions, breakouts tend to fail or reverse, producing whipsaw environments; ∴ Without ADX expansion, directional signals from EMAs, RSI, or MACD lack confirmation. ✴️ Conclusion: The trend is weak; consolidation dominates. Breakouts require ADX above 20 for validation. ⊢ 🜎 Strategic Insight - Technical Oracle: ∴ The structural configuration of the moving averages (Price < EMA9 < EMA21 < EMA50) defines a layered bearish stacking, emphasizing that control remains under sellers until the price successfully reclaims successive thresholds; ∴ The triple resistance crown ($98.14 / $98.22 / $98.50) represents the immediate fortress overhead. Until pierced, rallies remain corrective rather than structural; ∴ The Bollinger Band compression in combination with ADX = 13.22 reflects a regime of latent instability: volatility is contracted, energy is being stored, and the market is poised for a sharp directional move once equilibrium breaks; ∴ Mapping of levels: Support zones: $97.94 (recent intraday floor) -> $96.82 (lower Bollinger band); Resistance zones: $98.22 (BB midline + EMA21 pivot) -> $98.45 / $98.50 (EMA50 zone) -> $99.63 (BB upper). ∴ Trigger mechanics (Daily): Bullish relief scenario: A daily close above $98.22 exposes a test of $98.45 / $98.50. A confirmed structural shift requires closure above $98.50 with simultaneous ADX rising above 20, projecting extension toward $98.80 -> $99.63; Bearish continuation scenario: A breakdown below $97.94 expands the downside toward $96.82. Acceleration requires concurrent Bollinger Band expansion + ADX increase, validating momentum. ∴ Cross-asset implication (BTC/USD): A DXY trapped beneath $98.50 with ADX under 18 provides tactical relief for risk assets - (Bitcoin, equities). Conversely, a reclaim above $98.50 coupled with rising ADX would exert renewed pressure on Bitcoin and global risk sentiment. ✴️ Conclusion: ∴ The DXY is operating in a compression regime with light bearish bias, encased beneath the triple-layered resistance of $98.22 and $98.50; ∴ Until the index secures a daily close above $98.50 supported by a strengthening ADX, the prevailing outlook remains range-to-down, targeting $97.94 and potentially $96.82; ∴ Should the crown of resistance be pierced with confirmed directional strength, the Dollar Index would advance toward $98.80 / $99.63, transitioning the macro background toward “risk-off” and imposing significant headwinds on Bitcoin and correlated assets. ⊢ 𓂀 Stoic-Structural Interpretation - DXY (1D, Aug 19, 2025): ∴ The Dollar Index remains imprisoned beneath its triple crown of resistance ($98.14 -> $98.22 -> $98.50). Each layer functions not as mere numbers, but as thresholds of control - the fortress where sellers guard the path forward; ∴ Momentum structures (RSI at $47.75, MACD compressed below zero, ADX at $13.22) whisper of weak conviction, a battlefield where neither camp advances decisively. Volatility compresses, energy coils. The silence of the bands is not peace; it is the breath before release. ∴ Supports lie at $97.94 and $96.82 - the fragile floor where weakness exposes the Index to further descent. Resistances culminate in the $99.63 upper band - the bastion to be conquered should strength return. ✴️ Philosophical Seal: Like the Stoic who tests virtue in adversity, the DXY now tests resolve in compression. Its stillness is deceptive - for beneath equilibrium, forces accumulate. The wise trader, like the Stoic, does not chase the noise of indecision; he prepares, unmoved, for the inevitable expansion. ⊢ ✦ Structure - DXY (1D, Aug 19, 2025): ∴ Bearish Stacking Alignment: Price $98.035 resides below EMA9 $98.139, which is below EMA21 $98.221, both beneath EMA50 $98.477. The moving averages align in descending order, sealing short-, mid-, and intermediate-term control under sellers; ∴ Compression Regime: Bollinger Bands narrowed to $96.815 / $99.628, with midline at $98.221. Volatility is contracted, reflecting equilibrium. The silence before expansion governs this phase; ∴ Momentum Exhaustion: RSI at 47.75 and MACD line at −0.085 with signal −0.082 indicate weakening drive, locked in indecision. ADX 13.22 confirms absence of a dominant directional force. ∴ Critical Thresholds: • Support: $97.94 -> $96.82; • Resistance: $98.22 -> $98.45–$98.50 -> $99.63; These levels form the sacred geometry of the Dollar’s battlefield. ✴️ Structural Seal: The DXY is architected in a descending yet compressed formation - a fortress of resistance above, fragile floors below. Until ADX rises and one side seizes momentum, the Index drifts in suspended balance, storing potential for decisive rupture. ⊢ · Cryptorvm Dominvs · MAGISTER ARCANVM · Vox Primordialis · · Dominivm Cardo Gyratio Omnivm · Silence precedes the next force.

DXY Comprehensive AnalysisThe US Dollar Index (DXY) is currently trading around 98.14, struggling near the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at 98.33, where strong resistance has capped further upside. The RSI shows hidden bearish divergence, signaling potential weakness despite the recent bounce. Price action remains within a broader downtrend channel, and repeated failures to sustain above 98.30 indicate fading bullish momentum. Immediate support is seen near 98.00, any bearish break out will lead the prices towards 97.79 (Fib 0.786), followed by 97.50, which could attract sellers if broken. On the upside, only a decisive break above 98.33–98.70 would shift intraday sentiment bullish toward 99.08. For today, the bias leans bearish as long as DXY trades below 98.30, with intraday traders likely eyeing short setups on rejection patterns targeting the lower supports.

Are U.S. Dollar Bears getting exhausted?Still holding on to my EUR/USD short positions since late June/early July and it’s been quite a game of patience at this point but as I have been analyzing the U.S. Dollar for the past few months, from a purely technical analysis perspective, I’m currently still seeing the U.S. Dollar potentially carving out a bottom here and make a run to re-visit the 100 - 102 price zone. I know markets are highly anticipating a Federal Reserve rate cute in September but with inflation still sticking around, it may not be such a sure thing just yet. All eyeballs and ears will be on tap for Powell’s speech on Friday. Technical analysis signals: • Descending Broadening/Expanding Wedge (Bullish Pattern) • MACD Histogram showing a sign of potential bearish exhaustion

DXY Analysis (US Dollar Index):The US Dollar Index is moving in a long-term bearish trend but has shown some upward momentum at today’s market open, currently testing the 98.00 resistance level. 🔹 Bearish Scenario: If DXY fails to break above 98.00 and drops below 97.80 with strong bearish momentum, the price could decline towards 97.50 as the first target and then 97.20 as the second target, which may act as a potential reversal zone. 🔹 Bullish Scenario: On the other hand, if strong buying pressure pushes the index above 98.00 and sustains the breakout, we could see an upside move towards 98.22 followed by a retest of the 98.50 zone.

US Dollar Index (DXY) in Balance Ahead of Key EventsUS Dollar Index (DXY) in Balance Ahead of Key Events In our previous analysis of the US Dollar Index (DXY), we: → outlined a descending channel (red) based on a sequence of lower highs and lows; → anticipated a move towards the median line of this channel. As of 18 August, the DXY is trading around the median of the channel and is forming a contracting triangle pattern (blue). The RSI remains close to the neutral 50 level, indicating equilibrium between supply and demand. This balance may be ruined given upcoming events: → Today, discussions at the White House between Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and European leaders will focus on the conflict in Ukraine. The outcome may provide clarity following the Trump–Putin meeting on 15 August. → On Wednesday at 21:00 GMT+3, the FOMC minutes will be released. Markets will look for guidance on the likelihood of a September rate cut after last Thursday’s stronger-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) print, which some interpret as a signal of potential inflationary pressures from new trade tariffs. Market participants should anticipate volatility, with price impulses possible in either direction. The base scenario for the week is a test of one of the quarter lines (QL/QH) within the channel, consistent with the broader US dollar weakening trend in place since January 2025. A breakout of QL or QH line and sustained move away from the channel median would indicate a shift in sentiment and the potential for a directional move beyond the current structure.

DXY Analysis – Aug 17, 2025Last week, we expected a short-term retracement towards 98.8 to clear liquidity before heading back to 99.6. However, selling pressure turned out to be stronger than anticipated, and price failed to deliver that move. This week, we expect sell orders to be triggered slightly lower, around the 98 – 98.1 zone. At the same time, the bullish levels we highlighted last week no longer hold the strength to support a recovery. 📉 As a result, a new bearish leg could be forming, with the next downside target set at 95.0.

DXY Comprehensive AnalysisThe US Dollar Index (DXY) on the 4H chart remains under pressure, trading near 97.71 and holding below the key resistance zone of 98.20–98.30, aligned with the 20 SMA (middle Bollinger band) and 0.786 Fibonacci retracement (97.78), signaling a firm bearish bias. Price action might continue to respect the descending trend, with recent candles showing rejection from the upper boundary and pointing toward a possible retest of 97.50–97.10 support levels. However, it will be crucial for prices to breach the fib level 0.786 and sustain lower. Bollinger Bands are moderately compressed, suggesting controlled volatility, while RSI at 42 indicates weak momentum with a hidden bearish divergence (prices making lower highs and RSI making constant highs), reinforcing downside potential. Unless the index reclaims 98.30 on strong buying, intraday traders may look for short opportunities on pullbacks, targeting 97.50 and then 97.10. With no major data releases today, technical levels are likely to drive moves, and continued dollar weakness could support risk assets like equities and commodities, particularly gold and emerging market currencies.

DXY:Key Levels and Political Events: Preparing for the Next MoveThe latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report indicates that there have been negligible changes in the behavior of commercial traders regarding the DXY. Meanwhile, retail traders have significantly reduced their long positions, cutting about 30% of their holdings to the short side. In contrast, non-commercial traders have increased their long positions by approximately 11.14%, suggesting a divergence in market sentiment: retailers appear to be leaning toward shorting the dollar, while non-commercials might be starting to accumulate long positions. Over the past week, the price rebounded at our daily demand zone, which could signal a potential continuation of the upward trend in the coming week. However, the market's next move will depend heavily on how it opens after the weekend and the market's reaction to the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting.
