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.
Trade ideas

DOLLAR INDEX (DXY) — TECHNICALS FIRST, FUNDAMENTALS SECOND
Technically, the key level this week is 99.197. If DXY manages a bullish close above it, we should see a weekly structure shift higher. That opens the door for 99.8 → 101.5 as internal algorithmic targets. This isn’t wishful thinking — this is how systems behave when liquidity regimes flip.
Under that lens, any rejections beneath 99.197 or weak closes around it remain valid short setups — but only after structure gives the nod. Don’t force trades ahead of confirmation.
In the background, the dollar is reacting to trade-war rhetoric and political shifts. Trump’s 100 % tariffs on Chinese imports raised volatility, but he later softened his tone, suggesting more cooperation than conflict. Its complet currency war.
Meanwhile, some analysts argue a bullish case for the dollar remains due to relative U.S. productivity strength and higher real yields.
These narratives give motive, but do not override price structure.
So from CORE5’s frame: structure leads, news lags. Let clean price confirmation in the 99.197 zone tell you whether to lean into long bias or respect the risk of failure. Eyes locked.
DXY: 100 on the Horizon as Trade Tensions Lift the DollarThe U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is showing renewed bullish momentum as both technicals and fundamentals align to support further upside.
Technically, the chart reveals a clear inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with a confirmed neckline breakout above 98.50–98.70. This zone now acts as strong support, reinforced by the 20- and 50-day moving averages trending upward. Price remains well within its ascending channel, suggesting bullish structure remains intact.
As long as DXY holds above 98.50, the path of least resistance points higher, with a medium-term target around 99.80–100.50 — a major resistance zone and psychological round number.
On the fundamental side, escalating U.S.–China trade tensions — including Trump’s renewed 100% tariff threats and China’s warning of retaliation — have reignited safe-haven demand for the dollar. Meanwhile, weakness in the euro and yen adds further tailwinds to DXY’s strength.
The combination of a bullish chart setup and a flight-to-safety narrative suggests 100 could be on the cards if the index continues to respect support and maintain momentum above the moving averages.
DXY Analysis – Bullish Structure Still IntactIn my latest DXY analysis, I mentioned that the 100.00 level remains the next key target for the U.S. Dollar Index.
After an initial push higher to 99.55, the index faced some selling pressure and is now trading slightly below 99.00.
However, the constructive bullish structure remains intact as long as price holds above the 99.60 support zone.
________________________________________
1. Technical Context
• The recent pullback looks more like a healthy correction rather than a trend reversal.
• The higher-lows pattern remains valid, keeping the bullish momentum alive.
• The 99.60 area now acts as a key pivot zone — holding above it favors a renewed push toward 100.00.
________________________________________
2. Trading Implications
Given this setup, selling rallies in EUR/USD and GBP/USD remains the preferred strategy, as both pairs are likely to face renewed dollar strength once DXY resumes its upward leg.
________________________________________
In short:
The Dollar Index remains bullish.
As long as 99.60 holds, the path of least resistance stays upward — and 100 remains on the radar. 🚀
Dxy index on high time frame
"Focusing on the DXY index on the high time frame, a downward trend is observed on the daily time frame. Utilizing the liquidity concept, the price has swept liquidity and appears poised for a decline. The first potential target could be around 97.5."

DXY Trade Plan 13/10/2025Dear Traders,
💵 U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Analysis – 16H Timeframe
📅 October 13, 2025
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) remains in a mid-term consolidation phase, but recent bullish momentum suggests that a new upward leg may soon begin.
After testing resistance near 99.10, DXY is showing signs of a short-term pullback. The 97.50–97.80 area (highlighted in blue) stands out as a strong demand/support zone, aligning with previous structure and horizontal support levels.
If the index manages to hold above this area, a bullish reversal from this zone could trigger a continuation move toward the 102.00–102.10 resistance level — the next major upside target.
This scenario would align with a potential recovery in USD strength across major pairs, particularly if macro data supports tightening or a risk-off sentiment in markets.
📊 Summary:
Overall Trend: Bullish bias after correction
Key Support Zone: 97.50 – 97.80
Key Resistance Target: 102.00 – 102.10
Scenario: Waiting for a pullback into 97.5–97.8 zone for a possible long continuation toward 102
Regards,
Alireza!

DXY - Dollar Could Rise if Fed's Cook Wins Fight Against Her DiDollar investors would express relief if U.S. courts thwart President Trump's attacks on the Federal Reserve, Commerzbank's Thu Lan Nguyen says in a note. A court on Friday heard Fed Governor Lisa Cook's request for a temporary retraining order to block Trump from removing her from the role. The hearing ended without a ruling. Trump faces the threat of a defeat as it seems questionable whether the grounds for Cook's dismissal are legally valid, Nguyen says. If the Fed's independence holds firm and the court rules against Cook's dismissal, the dollar could rise. "However, the courts' final ruling is still pending. It's "by no means guaranteed" that Trump would accept a ruling against him, she says.
Like I said, DXY is now bearish. Buy Eurusd et alI published a trade idea before the big move down - It still stands, dxy is bearish. So just look for counter buy on EURUSD, GBPUSD et others.
Go through my page and see for yourself, if it comes to dxy and EUR, I'm hardly wrong. Don't miss this trade, trade accordingly
I think fundamental always wait for price to reach a specific level (technical) before news comes. How the hell did Trump start tariffing China once we entered that weekly FVG. It really amazes me.
All things been equal, liquidity is now remaining on the sell side and we will start looking for buy, if and only if those liquidity are taken.
These are levels we should keep eyes on as potential TP
TP 1 @ 97.96
TP 2 @ 97.46
TP 3 @ 96.215
DXY is still bearish, dont miss this trade. It may probably be the last ride down before we see higher dxy, I will update you guys then
Enjoy

Out into Right-field she goes!-⚠️ Market Forewarning: Potential Weakness in the U.S. Dollar (USD)
Issued on: October 12, 2025
Prepared by:
Disclaimer: The following is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Trading and investing involve risk. Please consult a licensed financial advisor.
Overview:
Based on a convergence of technical indicators, macroeconomic factors, and cyclical analysis, we are issuing a forewarning regarding potential near- to mid-term weakness in the U.S. dollar (USD).
Recent developments in the global macroeconomic landscape—paired with emerging technical patterns—suggest that the greenback may be entering a corrective or even impulsive decline phase, particularly against major currency pairs such as the EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and JPY/USD.
🔍 Technical Analysis Breakdown:
1. Supply and Demand Ray Line Zones
The DXY (U.S. Dollar Index) is currently testing a multi-month supply zone between 108.50 – 109.30, which has historically acted as a reversal region.
Demand zones below near 104.00 – 103.20 have weakened after multiple tests, suggesting a likely breakdown and continuation of downward momentum.
The ray line trend indicates supply is overtaking demand, as evidenced by fading bullish volume and weaker retracements on rebounds.
2. Elliott Wave Pattern
The broader wave structure from the March 2024 low appears to have completed a 5-wave impulsive cycle, peaking around September 2025.
Current price action suggests we are in the early stages of an A-B-C corrective wave:
Wave A likely concluded in early October with a sharp drop.
A shallow Wave B retracement is in progress but struggling to reclaim previous highs.
If pattern symmetry holds, Wave C could extend toward the 102.00 – 101.50 zone, in line with Fibonacci projection levels (1.618 extension of Wave A).
3. Pivot Market Points
October’s monthly pivot point lies around 105.80, and price is trading consistently below it — a bearish sign.
Key support pivots reside at 104.20 (S1) and 102.75 (S2); a breach below these levels could confirm further downside.
Resistance at the 107.60 – 108.00 range remains firm and unbroken.
🔮 Forward Outlook: Bearish Bias
Given:
Sustained rejection from a known supply zone,
A likely Elliott Wave correction unfolding,
And consistent trading below pivot levels,
…we anticipate a bearish trajectory for the USD over the next 1–3 months, barring a major macroeconomic shock or intervention.
Target zones:
Short-term: 104.20
Mid-term: 102.00
Risk invalidation: Close above 109.50 with strong bullish volume
📉 Key Drivers to Watch:
U.S. Federal Reserve commentary and policy shifts
Treasury yields and bond market stress
Geopolitical developments impacting safe-haven flows
Inflation print volatility (CPI/PPI releases)
Dollar at Max Deviation — Watching 99.197 CloselyThe dollar had another wild week, closing around 99.197 — right on the edge of major structure.
Most traders see strength, but when you zoom out, this move looks stretched.
Yields have started to cool off, which takes pressure off the dollar’s safe-haven run.
We still got smaller data releases like PMIs and Fed talks, but the big stuff like CPI is on hold until the U.S. shutdown clears.
Even the IMF warned about growing liquidity risks in global FX — meaning sudden spikes or fake outs can happen fast when markets get thin.
Technically, we’re in a bearish zone on the higher timeframe.
The last three months of liquidity targets are already taken, and the market’s now trading inside maximum deviation — a point where algorithms usually reset before any new trend forms.
That’s why 99.197 matters: it’s the last shelf before structure confirms the drop.
If price breaks and holds below that level early next week, momentum likely shifts bearish.
If it holds above, expect more sideways chop before a correction.
For now, it’s all about patience and tracking structure — not emotions.
DXY - 3 SCENARIOS - TRADING WEEK 13 - 17 OCTOBER 2025NEXT WEEK I FORESEE THREE DIFFERENT SCENARIO FOR THE DXY AS FOLLOW:
- THE DXY COULD POTENTIALLY USE 98.600 AS A SUPPORT ON THE WAY UP TO 99.600, 100.200 AND POSSIBLY 101.395
- (MY FAVOURITE) THE INDEX COULD BREAK 98.600 AND LOWER TO 97.800/97.700 COVERING LAST WEEk GAP AND RALLY-UP TROUGH THE WEEK
- IF THE INDEX BREAKS 97.700 WITH MOMENTUM WE COULD SEE A RE-TEST AND THE INDEX RALLYING DOWN FROM THERE CHALLENGING THE PREVIOUS LOW 96.260 (17 SEPTEMBER 2025) AND SEEK NEW LOWS.
Always be reactive rather than predictive, these 3 scenarios are well valid and i don't think we will see a fourth scenario ...
Please like, comment and share this idea if you liked it, I will keep updating it as the market starts
Th Dollar rallies ⚠️ What Traders Must Know for Next Week
The US government shutdown fundamentally changes the trading environment for the week ahead by creating a severe "information vacuum."
A. The Data Blackout is the Biggest Risk
Delayed Critical Data: Key federal economic reports—such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)—are suspended until funding resumes. These are the reports the Federal Reserve uses to make policy decisions.
The "Flying Blind" Problem: Without objective, reliable inflation and employment data, the Federal Reserve and investors are "flying blind." This uncertainty forces traders to rely on technical analysis, geopolitical headlines, and potentially less reliable private-sector indicators (like ADP or private sentiment surveys).
Volatile Swings: The lack of scheduled market-moving news means any single, unconfirmed headline (e.g., a "leak" on a negotiation, a new tariff threat, or a surprise private data release) could trigger vicious, whipsaw price corrections due to thin liquidity and high uncertainty.
B. Trading Strategy Adjustments
Reduce Exposure: Consider decreasing your overall position sizes to manage the heightened, unpredictable volatility created by the data vacuum.
Focus on Cross-Pairs: Shift focus to non-USD pairs (e.g., EUR/JPY, AUD/NZD) where the primary fundamental drivers are clearer and not distorted by the US shutdown.
Monitor Geopolitics: The Dollar's strength is brittle. Any resolution on the trade war or signs of stability in Europe or Japan could quickly reverse the USD rally.
Look for Clues Outside the US: Pay extra attention to foreign economic calendars (like Chinese trade and inflation figures, or Australian employment data) to gauge global risk sentiment in the absence of US information.
The US Dollar enters the new week strong, but this strength is built on shaky foundations. Prudent traders must prioritize risk management over aggressive trend-following until the data flows from Washington are restored.
