What now for the dollar after a poor NFP report?It is difficult not to link the bad US data to the impact of tariffs. Indeed, it certainly looks that way, especially given that the slowdown in jobs started in early Q2 when reciprocal tariffs were announced. Companies expecting margins to be squeezed by higher duties probably thought twice about hiring workers in order to keep costs down. So, the US labour market has been losing steam fast, undoubtedly due to tariff concerns. Unless the data surprises on the upside soon, the Fed may have no choice but to cut—and cut again. Against this backdrop, the recovery in the dollar is going to a long bumpy road. We noted the area around 100.00 to be resistance in the previous update, and that level has held, thanks to the weak jobs report (and ISM survey that was released later). The DXY was testing potential support around 98.95 at the time of writing. Will it be able to bounce there? Break that on a closing basis and next week could bring more technical dollar selling.

DOLLAR INDEXDepartments Responsible for Each Economic Report Indicator Responsible Department/Source Average Hourly Earnings m/m U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), part of the Department of Labor Non-Farm Employment Change BLS (Establishment Survey) Unemployment Rate BLS (Household Survey) Final Manufacturing PMI S&P Global/Markit (private company) ISM Manufacturing PMI Institute for Supply Management (ISM, private sector) ISM Manufacturing Prices Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Revised University of Michigan (UoM) Consumer Sentiment University of Michigan (private/public university) Construction Spending m/m U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce Revised UoM Inflation Expectations University of Michigan How the Federal Reserve Interprets “Greater Than” or “Lower Than” Forecast 1. Average Hourly Earnings, 2.Non-Farm Payrolls, 3. Unemployment Rate Higher than forecast (stronger labor market): Tight labor markets (higher wages, more jobs, lower unemployment) suggest inflationary pressure. The Fed may view this as a signal to keep rates higher for longer, as wage and job growth could fuel inflation. Lower than forecast (weaker labor market): Signals cooling in employment and wage growth, reducing upward pressure on inflation. The Fed may see this as justification to consider easing policy or at least pausing further rate hikes. 2. Manufacturing PMIs (ISM, S&P) Above 50: Signals expansion in manufacturing; below 50 indicates contraction. Higher than forecast: Points to stronger economic momentum; the Fed may see upside risks to inflation. Lower than forecast: Indicates weaker manufacturing activity; a possible sign of slowing demand, which could support rate cuts or dovish policy if persistent. 3. ISM Manufacturing Prices Higher than forecast: Suggests inflationary pressures in manufacturing input costs; Fed interprets this as a reason for vigilance on inflation. Lower than forecast: Implies easing input price pressures, supporting a dovish outlook if inflation remains subdued. 4. University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment & Inflation Expectations Stronger than forecast sentiment: Consumers are more optimistic, often a sign of solid spending potential. May amplify inflation if this leads to greater demand. Higher inflation expectations: If consumers expect higher future inflation, this can become self-fulfilling and the Fed may maintain tighter policy. Weaker sentiment/lower inflation expectations: Reduces inflation risk, gives the Fed more flexibility to ease if needed. 5. Construction Spending Higher than forecast: Indicates resilient investment and demand in the real economy. Lower than forecast: Suggests cooling real estate and infrastructure spending; may support a dovish Fed outlook if sustained. Summary Table Data Surprises Interpretation for Fed Policy Higher-than-forecast More hawkish; raises risk of persistent inflation Lower-than-forecast More dovish; reduces pressure to hold rates higher The Fed looks at the overall pattern across these data. Persistent upside surprises heighten concerns about inflation, supporting tighter policy. Downside surprises suggest cooling economic momentum and may encourage future rate cuts or pauses. The relative impact depends on which indicators surprise and the broader economic context. #DXY #DOLLAR

NFP Volatility Ahead – Is the Dollar Ready to Break Higher?🟢 DXY Outlook – A Key Day for the Dollar Index Yesterday’s monthly candle closed with strong bullish momentum, marking a powerful start to August. Today, on the first trading day of the month, we’re expecting three major U.S. economic releases: NFP, Average Hourly Earnings (m/m), and the Unemployment Rate. As discussed in last week’s outlook, DXY has successfully broken above the key 100 level and confirmed a monthly close above it — a significant technical development. With no major order blocks or visible resistance in the way, the path toward the 102 target appears technically clear. That said, I anticipate mixed data from today’s releases — which means we could see both sides of liquidity being taken during the initial reaction. Price might dip toward lower zones temporarily to collect liquidity before resuming its bullish move toward 102. 📌 In summary: From a swing perspective, I believe the direction remains bullish for the Dollar Index as long as we hold above the 100 level. When I say the data might be “mixed,” I mean the market could show an initial drop toward lower zones at the time of release — not because of a reversal, but to grab liquidity before continuing higher toward the 102 target. Unless we see something unexpectedly extreme in the numbers, I expect the DXY to remain on track to reach the 102 level in the coming days or next week. 🔁 This analysis will be updated whenever necessary. Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Just my personal opinion.

U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis – 4-Hour TimeframeU.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis – 4-Hour Timeframe Following yesterday’s economic data from the United States, which included stronger-than-expected GDP growth and consumer confidence figures, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has continued its upward trend with strength. These developments have reinforced expectations for continued monetary tightening—or at least keeping interest rates elevated—which in turn has boosted demand for the dollar. On the 4-hour chart, after a strong bullish rally, the dollar index has now reached a key resistance zone that previously acted as a major barrier. Bullish Scenario: If the current resistance zone is decisively broken and price stabilizes above it, the bullish momentum could extend further toward higher technical levels. This scenario would gain additional strength if upcoming economic data continues to support the dollar. Bearish Scenario: However, if the price fails to break through the resistance and signs of buyer weakness begin to emerge, a corrective pullback toward previous support levels may occur. This scenario could be further intensified if weaker economic data is released or if the Federal Reserve signals a more dovish stance. At the moment, traders are advised to closely monitor the price reaction to the current zone and wait for confirmation before committing to the next move.

USD Working Strongest Month Since April 2022After a decisive sell-off ran for most of the first-half of the year, USD bulls have stepped up in July and DXY is currently up 3.3% for the month. That's the strongest monthly outing in the currency since April of 2022- and that's just after the Fed had started their rate hike campaign that year. It led into a massive rally that ran through September as the USD set fresh 20-year highs. The question now is one of continuation, and motive seems to be fairly clear. I've outlined the technical backdrop as this shift has taken place over the past month, as the Dollar held a higher-low last week and that drove into a higher-high this week. There's likely some short squeezing contributing to the rally but with U.S. data remaining strong, and inflation on the way back up, the rate cuts that markets had priced-in back in March and April for 2025 are now in question. This brings attention to the next major item - with Non-farm Payrolls tomorrow morning. On a short-term basis the USD move has already started to show overbought conditions on the four-hour chart, and daily RSI is getting close to the 70-level. So perhaps ideal would be a soft report tomorrow at which point a pullback could show. It's from that that we can see whether bulls will come in to defend higher-lows, and there's now support potential at prior resistance of 99.40 in DXY. If we do see a strong report, the 100 level is the spot for bulls to reckon with and at that point, we may be looking at an overbought RSI scenario on the daily chart - which doesn't necessarily preclude bullish continuation although it will make it more difficult to chase topside breakouts. - js

DXY testing 100.00 resistanceThe US dollar index has risen to rest a key resistance area around the 100.00 level. Previously a key support and resistance zone, what happens here could determine the near-term technical direction for the US dollar. Key support below this zone is at 98.95, marking a prior resistance. Given the short-term bullish price structure, I would expect this level to hold if the greenback were to ease back from here. If the bullish momentum gathers pace, then 101.00 could be the next stop, followed by the recent high of 101.97. From a macro point of view, resilient economic data and persistent core inflation concerns continue to support the Federal Reserve’s cautious policy approach. Today’s core PCE inflation reading came in slightly above forecast, at 2.8% year-over-year versus the expected 2.7%. In addition, jobless claims were better than anticipated, registering 218,000 compared to the 224,000 forecast. The Q2 Employment Cost Index also surprised to the upside, rising 0.9% quarter-on-quarter. These figures follow yesterday’s stronger-than-expected GDP report and a solid ADP private payrolls release, further underscoring the strength of the U.S. economy. Attention now turns to Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, which could have a meaningful impact on rate expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized the importance of the unemployment rate as a key metric, so any upside surprise could reinforce the Fed’s current position. However, expectations are not very high for the non-farm payrolls report. Current forecasts suggest an increase of 106,000 jobs, with average weekly earnings rising 0.3% month-over-month, and the unemployment rate edging up to 4.2%. Yet, the scarcity of strong leading indicators this month adds a layer of uncertainty to the outlook. By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com

DXY bullish trend The market reaction indicates that the economy remains very strong, and there is no immediate need for the Fed or any central bank action. Powell emphasized that any potential rate cuts will depend on the upcoming data, especially the August reports. As a result, the DXY is expected to remain strong and could rise towards the 104.00–106.00 levels. A potential bearish reversal in the DXY would only be likely if there is significant economic deterioration or a clear shift in Fed policy expectations.
