my view on the DXY for the next trading week 18 Aug / 22 Aug This coming week I expect the DXY Index to text the 98.200 /98.300 resistance and lower to the 97.100 level of support, this is a strong support HOWEVER a close below that will call the next support 96.450
A break of 98.600 will more ikely resume uptrebd to 99.600 - 100.000
Keep always an eye to the DATA released throught the week and enter your tradng positions ALWAYS at support or resistance - this week I will be REACTIVE rather than predictive
DX.F trade ideas
DXY Outlook: A Final Dip Before a Major Rip?This is a multi-timeframe analysis of the US Dollar Index (DXY), combining technical structure with the current fundamental landscape. The thesis presents a short-term bearish view for the coming week, followed by a significant mid-term rally, which ultimately may be part of a larger long-term corrective structure.
Analysis Breakdown
1. Short-Term View (Weekly Outlook): Bearish 📉
Technical: On the daily chart, the DXY continues to consolidate within a large symmetrical triangle after a strong bullish impulse. While currently holding the 0.382 Fibonacci support, we could see one final push downwards this week. The target for this dip would be the stronger confluence zone located at the 0.50 Fibonacci retracement level, which aligns perfectly with a key Daily Demand Block. This move would serve to hunt liquidity resting below the triangle's support line before the true direction is revealed.
Fundamental: With a relatively quiet economic calendar early in the week, markets may position themselves ahead of future inflation data. This could provide the window for this final corrective leg down.
2. Mid-Term View (1-3 Month Outlook): Very Bullish 📈
Technical: This is the core of our thesis. We anticipate a strong rejection from the aforementioned 0.50 Fibo / Demand Zone. A confirmed bounce from this area, followed by a decisive daily candle close above the triangle's upper trendline, would signal the end of the consolidation and the resumption of the primary bullish trend. The initial target would be the previous high, with potential to extend further.
Fundamental: This bullish rally would be fundamentally driven by a persistent "higher for longer" interest rate narrative from the Federal Reserve. Any incoming data showing sticky inflation or continued economic strength in the US would act as a major catalyst, forcing the market to price out rate cuts and re-price a strong dollar.
3. Long-Term View (6M+ Outlook): Bearish 📉
Technical: Zooming out, the entire bullish structure we are seeing in 2025 can be interpreted as a large corrective wave within the multi-decade macro downtrend that began post-1985. The anticipated mid-term rally, while significant, would likely find its ultimate peak at a major historical resistance level before the larger structural downtrend resumes.
Fundamental: Long-term headwinds for the dollar remain, including rising US national debt and geopolitical de-dollarization trends. Furthermore, eventual success in curbing inflation would lead to the rate cuts that the current administration is advocating for to boost trade competitiveness, aligning with this long-term bearish view.
Strategic Plan
The immediate strategy is one of patience.
Short-Term: Look for signs of weakness to confirm the dip towards the primary support zone.
Mid-Term: The A++ setup is to wait for a confirmed bullish reversal from the key Demand Zone. A long position would be considered only after a clear breakout of the triangle pattern, targeting the yearly highs. This bullish scenario remains the primary thesis as long as the key demand zone holds.
DXY LONG FROM RISING SUPPORT|
✅DXY is trading in an uptrend
Along the rising support line
Which makes me bullish biased
And the pair is about to retest the rising support
Thus, a rebound and a move up is expected
With the target of retesting the level above at 98.000

DXY (Daily)🔎 Chart Context
• Instrument: DXY (US Dollar Index)
• Timeframe: 1D (Daily)
• Broker: Capital.com
• Date: 15 August 2025
This chart tracks the relative strength of the US Dollar against a basket of major currencies. It is also strongly correlated inversely with risk assets (BTC, SOL, equities, gold).
📊 Key Observations
1. Macro Structure
• DXY peaked at 109.879 and 109.506 (late 2024 highs).
• Since then, the index has been in a steady downtrend, forming consistent lower highs: 107.235 → 104.256 → 101.513 → 98.959.
• Current price trades around 97.805–98.268, well below prior supports, confirming bearish pressure.
2. Support & Demand Zones
• 97.527 – 96.663: Current support range being tested repeatedly.
• 95.000: Stronger demand zone, marked as the next probable retest.
• 93.000: A deeper liquidity level, identified as a potential long-term downside target.
3. Resistance Zones
• 98.959 – 99.804: Previous breakdown area and strong supply.
• Any bullish bounce will likely stall in this zone unless momentum shifts drastically.
4. Liquidity Behavior
• DXY is compressing within the 97.5–99 band.
• Multiple sweeps of 97.527–96.663 suggest buyers are weakening.
• Next liquidity magnet lies at 95.000, with potential extension to 93.000.
5. Projected Path
• The chart projection suggests further downside movement toward 95.000, followed by a temporary relief rally, then continuation toward 93.000.
• This aligns with a macro bearish USD outlook.
📈 Bullish Case (Low Probability, Countertrend)
• If DXY holds 97.527–96.663 strongly and forms a higher low:
• First target: 98.959 (minor resistance)
• Second target: 99.804 (supply zone)
• Sustained break above 101.513 would change trend bias to bullish.
• However, this requires a major macro catalyst (e.g., Fed tightening or risk-off flows).
📉 Bearish Case (Higher Probability, Dominant Scenario)
• Downtrend structure intact with clear lower highs.
• Current weakness signals continuation:
• Next stop: 95.000 liquidity zone.
• Final target: 93.000 if bearish momentum persists.
• This aligns with weakening dollar demand and capital rotation into risk assets (crypto, equities, commodities).
⚡ Trading Plan
• Short Bias (Preferred Play):
• Enter on relief rallies into 98.959–99.804 supply zone.
• Target 1: 95.000
• Target 2: 93.000
• Stop-loss: Above 101.513
• Long Setup (Countertrend, Risky):
• Enter at 95.000 demand zone (scalp long).
• TP1: 98.959
• Stop: Below 93.000
DXY4H**Analytical Trading Perspectives for the Upcoming Week**
In this series of analyses, we have reviewed short-term trading perspectives and market outlooks.
As can be seen, in each analysis there is a key support or resistance zone near the current price of the asset. The market’s reaction or breakout at these levels will determine the next price movement toward the specified targets.
**Important Note:** The purpose of these trading perspectives is to highlight the key levels ahead of price action and the market’s possible reactions to them. These analyses are by no means trading signals.
BEARISH H4 DXYSee previous post - this is H4 view of my top down analysis from the monthly - weekly and down to the H4 time frame - supporting my bearish narrative on DXY until we mitigate the Bullish Monthly FVA / OB.
This Bearish Pullback supports - the Buy the Dip narrative. I will of course disregard my bullish bias on DXY if we break and close below the Invalidation of Bullish Bias point.
BEARISH MONTHLY PULLBACK ON XYDXY is bullish until we break and close below the invalidation of bullish bias. So if I have a bullish bias -I note April as True Year Open. I will buy below the TYO, hence the bearish monthly pullback.
Confluences that support my bearish Bias:
Current quarter is bearish and the draw on liquidity is towards the SSL around 30th June 2025 lows.
The previous week closed bearish so this coming week our initial draw on liquidity is bearish towards the green line. This may proceed towards the 30th June lows and into the inverse monthly FVG sitting above a fair value area and a bullish monthly order block marked in thick green line.
Weekly candle of the Dollar IndexThe Dollar Index has been stuck in a range for nearly 4 months, and in the most optimistic scenario, it might stay in this range for another month. We have to wait and see whether the battle between Trump and Powell will manage to weaken and devalue the dollar even further or not.
DXY ready to drop again?DXY has done false breakout in the beginning of the week with strong rejection to the upside. Upon rejection, price has pulled back to 38.2% fib along with daily resistance retest and price has strongly rejected from 98.70 showing further downside with another wave to 98.32 has rejected with strong liquidity candle that continue to drop as 4h, has formed liquidity candle with false breakout at 98.00, there is higher probability to drop to support.
DXY consolidating near key supportThe DXY is consolidating near key support, as Fed policy, inflation prints, and global trade moves dominate. A break below 97.10 risks deeper declines, while stability or positive data could prompt a technical rebound toward 98.65 –98.90. Fundamentals point to ongoing softness barring a surprise risk-off event, with yield dynamics and capital flows dictating the dollar’s path.
Fundamental Analysis:
Fed Policy: The market is pricing a ~89% chance of a 25bps cut at the September FOMC, with some banks forecasting up to four cuts by year end. This has capped dollar upside, as US yields drift lower.
Inflation: Core PCE stands at 2.8% YoY, above the Fed’s target, but the most recent CPI & PPI data was mixed. Headline inflation surprised on the high side, but rates markets still bet on easing as growth softens.
Macroeconomic Data: Labor data (including NFP, jobless claims) and ISM services trends have been underwhelming, fueling a tug-of-war between those expecting the Fed to cut sooner and those betting on sticky inflation.
Global Politics & Trade: New tariffs as of August on over 60 nations and 18.6% effective average US tariff rate, the highest since the 1930s, have muddied safe-haven flows supporting the dollar at times, but now viewed more as a global growth risk that could hurt USD as well.
Capital Flows: Despite volatility, the dollar remains underpinned by structural demand reserve currency role, deep markets, global capital safety. However, persistent US policy uncertainty around trade and the US Fed means foreign flows are choppier than usual.
Central Bank Trends: Some major peers such as ECB, BoE are also expected to ease or are facing economic softness, limiting the DXY’s downside. However, the US policy shift is perceived as more aggressive for now.
Technical Analysis & Key Levels
Pivot: 98.00 – 98.20
Immediate Support: 97.25 and 96.45
Major Support: 97.10, a close below here increases risk of further decline.
Immediate Resistance: 98.65, then 98.80. A break above here is needed for a bullish reversal.
Major Resistance: 99.40 and 100.00, these are bullish targets if the USD stages a structural rebound.
If support holds and macro data surprises to the upside, a rebound to 98.65 – 98.80 could materialise.
Analysis by Terence Hove, Senior Financial Markets Strategist at Exness
DXY: Dollar’s ready, but the starter pistol’s still silentDXY is holding in the 97.50–97.60 support zone, an area where buyers have stepped in multiple times. Current market structure suggests possible liquidity accumulation before an upside move. The key tactical trigger is a breakout and close above 98.76, opening the path to 100.28, then 101.84 where historical selling pressure has emerged. The long-term target, if all levels break in sequence, is 104.40. While price remains below 98.76, buyers have no confirmed advantage and any rally remains speculative.
Fundamentally , the dollar lacks unconditional support: US macro data is mixed and Fed policy remains uncertain. However, safe-haven demand and cautious risk positioning by large players create a backdrop for a potential upward correction.
Tactical plan: watch 97.50–97.60, a confirmed break above 98.76 activates a move towards 100.28 → 101.84 → 104.40. Failure to break cancels the idea until a fresh impulse emerges.
The dollar right now is like a boxer before stepping into the ring - warmed up, focused, but waiting for the bell.
Bearish reversal?The US Dollar Index (DXY) is rising towards the pivot and could reverse to the 1st support which acts as an overlap support.
Pivot: 98.40
1st Support: 97.76
1st Resistance: 99.28

DXY: Bulls Are Winning! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DXY together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break above the current local range around 98.871 will confirm the new direction upwards with the target being the next key level of 98.071 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
DXY Is Still Bearish; Final Leg Of The Wedge Pattern?DXY Is Still Bearish, but it can be trading in final leg of ending diagonal a.k.a. wedge pattern from technical and Elliott wave perspective.
US Dollar Index – DXY made only a three-wave rise from the lows, which indicates for a correction within downtrend. So recovery can basically still be a fourth wave rally, just a bit deeper one that can still belong to an ending diagonal a.k.a. wedge pattern. Final wave “v” of 5 can be still missing, so be aware of a continuation lower within a new three-wave abc decline, especially if breaks below the lower side of the corrective channel near 97.70 level.
US Dollar Index (DXY) Analysis:The DXY is currently moving sideways in the short term, awaiting today's economic data, while maintaining a bearish bias in the long term. It has recently retested the 97.90 level as a nearby resistance area.
🔹 Bearish Scenario:
If the index resumes its decline and breaks below the 97.60 support level with confirmation, it may move toward testing the 97.20 area, which could act as a potential rebound zone.
🔹 Bullish Scenario:
If bullish momentum emerges and the price breaks above 97.90 with stability, the index may head toward the 98.13 level, followed by a retest of 98.50.
