DXY Bullish Structure Outlook – September 2025Description:
This chart highlights a bullish idea on the Dollar Index (DXY), with structure and liquidity concepts driving the outlook.
Swing Structure:
Price formed a major swing low after a clear BOS (break of structure) to the downside. From there, buyers stepped in, creating a new swing high and pushing into an external BOS, confirming higher-timeframe strength.
Weak Highs & Liquidity Pools:
Multiple weak highs (highlighted in orange) remain unprotected and serve as liquidity targets. These highs are unlikely to hold, suggesting the market will eventually raid them as it seeks upside continuation.
Demand Zones & Failed Close:
Despite temporary sell-offs, the market failed to close below key support (annotated near 97.80–97.00), showing absorption of selling pressure. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) also act as areas of re-accumulation where buyers can step back in.
Schematic Alignment:
The lower schematic illustrates the anticipated accumulation process: a BOS/CHOCH leading into demand mitigation, followed by higher-lows being built and a final expansion phase. This aligns with the live chart, projecting a bullish run once the corrective phase completes.
Outlook:
As long as price respects the current demand zone, DXY is positioned for continuation to the upside, with liquidity objectives above 99.00 and potentially 100+. A deeper retracement toward 96.00–95.00 would still fit the bullish accumulation model and provide an additional long opportunity.
DXYThe US Dollar Index (DXY) is a financial index that measures the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of six major foreign currencies. It is widely used to gauge the overall strength or weakness of the US dollar in global currency markets.

Forex Weekly Review: Fundamental analysis. USD to weaken? The week starting Monday 25 August ended where it began, with roughly an 85% likelihood of a September FED rate cut.
There was a lot of external noise in-between. But all the while, the currencies 'movement' remained fairly muted.
Given the reaction to chair Powell's speech the previous Friday, I was quite surprised by the USD strength on Monday.
Throughout the week, we did get a few 'events', namely Mr Trump 'firing' FED member cook, whilst simultaneously stirring the tariff pot. The firing of COOK is an interesting one as it brings into question the FED's independence and is a scenario that could rumble on for a while. We also got 'discouraging' forward guidance from NVIDEA. On another week, all of these narratives would have 'likely' spurred 'sour sentiment'. But any moves were muted, which I put down to many traders being away on 'summer breaks', the fact the VIX hovered around 15 all week (despite the negativity) backs up this theory.
In other news, we did a bit of 'action,' on Monday when political uncertainty in France weakened the EUR. And on Friday 'in line with expectations' US PCE data (eventually) weakened the USD. The theory being inflation is still benign enough for the FED to cut rates in September.
Finally, 'soft' CAD GDP data keeps a BOC September rate cut firmly on the table.
On a personal note, I only really perceived two opportunities all week, the EUR weakness on Monday (which I didn't trade) and the USD opportunity on Friday (GBP USD long). Although that was a tricky one because the dollar did initially strengthen on the headline. We only saw the 'true reaction' once the US market opened.
Throughout the week, I did find myself a little frustrated with the lack of my perceived opportunities over the last few weeks, I'm very intrigued to see if volume picks up once 'institutional traders' return to their desks.
I begin the new week with my 'risk on' bias in tact (particularly following weekend news of a supreme court tariff ruling). But I suspect the narrative surrounding the US jobs market could play a big role this week.
Results:
Trade 1: GBP USD +1.2
Total = +1.2%
US Dollar: A Bit Lower Before Moving Higher? Happy September!Welcome back to the Weekly Forex Forecast for the week of Sept. 1 - 5th.
In this video, we will analyze the following FX market: USD Dollar
The USD is more bearish than bullish. Yes. However, it is still in correction territory. That is to say, it could potentially move higher from current levels. It is in consolidation, ranging here for weeks. Sept may bring the volume to move price out of the summer range. Let's be prepared for it!
React and do not predict.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

DXY Outlook – Bearish Lean, Choppy SetupDollar had a hard run the last three weeks with heavy bearish candles on the weekly. Price action has been messy, not easy to just get in and ride. My bias is still bearish, but I’m also looking at the bigger picture.
On the monthly chart, key distribution sits under 94.095 and we haven’t reached it yet. Over the last two months price has been filling the bullish order block around 95.971 order block on the dollar index. If the market maker decides to move, it could go fast once the data lines up, whether in the first or second week.
Right now we are sitting in a bearish volume channel lower end. Selling late is not smart because most of the move has already passed. That doesn’t mean there are no trades, but it does mean higher frequency and tighter risk until the next clear setup.
From the economic side the jobs data is weak with only 73K added last month, which keeps pressure on the Fed to cut. The Fed is also seen as politicized, which hurts credibility and weighs on the dollar. Markets are already pricing a September cut and analysts are leaning bearish. At the same time inflation is still sticky near 2.9 percent while jobs are slowing, which leaves the Fed boxed in. Headline PCE is flat, not strong enough to flip hawkish and not weak enough to go fully dovish. That mix can trap the dollar between 97 and 100 until one side breaks.
Best move is to keep watching the data closely before trading dollar markets. Bias stays bearish, but chop risk is high.

DXY Possible sell on pullback!Back to back 3 weekly pin bar on DXY with series of lower high's putting pressure on the weekly support level. From the Monthly, it is a long term bear market, after the previous monthly pullback, price started to continue to drop which signals potential new impulse on the monthly. As the monthly close, the price is on the intraday support with potential for initial bounce. As weekly market is creating series of higher low, there is a possibility of 50% pullback and liquidity grab to potentially break the weekly support.

DXY 4HTrading Outlook for Major Currency Pairs and Indices, Especially Gold and Silver, in the Upcoming Week
In this series of analyses, we have reviewed short-term trading perspectives and market outlooks.
As can be seen, each analysis highlights a key support or resistance area near the current price of the asset. The market’s reaction to or break of these levels will determine the subsequent price trend up to the next specified levels.
Important Note: The purpose of these trading outlooks is to identify key price levels and potential market reactions, and the analyses provided should not be considered as trading signals.
Supply + liquidity hunt = breakout failure1.This breakout failed because it lacked consolidation strength and ran directly into a strong supply/FVG zone.
2.Liquidity above the trendline was hunted, trapping breakout buyers.
3.Momentum was weak, with no strong volume or follow-through.
4.The higher timeframe bias was still bearish, limiting upside potential.
Without retest and acceptance above resistance, the move couldn’t sustain.
⚡ Key Points
📝Trendline break without consolidation.
📝Rejection from FVG / supply zone.
📝Liquidity grab above highs.
📝Weak momentum and no follow-through.
DXY Analysis: Resistances Holding Strong, Is the Downtrend Back?Today, I want to analyze one of the important indices of the financial markets , the U.S. Dollar Index ( TVC:DXY ), for you, which can be a guide for taking short-long positions in the Forex , Futures , and even Crypto markets.
The DXY index fell by about -1.2% after Jerome Powell began talking about the possibility of a rate cut in September , but as the new week began, the DXY index started to rise again.
If we look at the DXY Index chart on the 1-hour time frame , we can see that the DXY Index reacted well to the Resistances and started to decline.
The Resistances for the DXY Index include:
Resistance zone($98.843-$98.575)
Monthly Pivot Point
100_SMA(Daily)
In terms of Elliott Wave theory , it seems that this increase in the DXY Index over the last two days has been in the form of corrective waves . The structure of the corrective waves is Zigzag Correction(ABC/5-3-5). By breaking the Support lines , we can confirm the end of the corrective waves .
Also, we can see the Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks .
I expect the DXY Index to decline to at least the Support zone($97.989-$97.834) AFTER breaking the Support lines .
Second Target: $97.650
Third Target: $97.450
Stop Loss(SL): $99.000
Note: With the DXY Index declining, we can expect more hope for a weakening of the U.S Dollar's strength in the major Forex pairs .
