USD Technical Analysis: DXY, EUR/USD Reversing After Sentiment Extremes

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is having a tough go at it today with the EUR/USD rallying sharply. To end last week the Euro came within a handful of pips from the 2017 low at 10341 before reversing course. The bounce has the first level of resistance in focus.

The 2020 low at 10636 was breached a few weeks back, recently tested as resistance on a small bounce. It will be the first level to watch for signs of a weakness to occur should price have enough momentum to get to that point. There is also a trend-line that will likely be in confluence as well, it runs down from the late March peak.

Given the extremes we saw in sentiment on the dollar move, a retracement of such a small amount, relative to the larger move, should be doable.

This will likely have the DXY trading down near 10235, the monthly low. That would be an interesting spot to see how the market responds. Given how extreme the trend became, even if it we are to see it reassert itself relatively soon, a bounce off support and range appears to be a likely scenario.

For the DXY all of this is occurring around the 2017 high, and while we have seen the level matter in recent trade, a range around the level could form and it could end up losing its relevance.

For now, the outlook in the near-term trading bias is up for the EUR/USD and down for the DXY, but that could quickly change as levels come into play and a sideways chop could develop.

    • The BLUM project has recently gained attention in the cryptocurrency community due to several developments such as  Introduction of a mining game on the TON ecosystem, allowing users to earn $BLUM tokens.  Announcement of new strategic partnerships Upcoming features including Tribes and Memepad functionalities.  Active community engagement through events and rewards 5. Recognition from notable figures in the crypto space Key upcoming events: Token Generation Event (TGE) for the BLUM mining game scheduled for September 20, 2024 Coinciding airdrop of BLUM tokens to the community The project plans to provide liquidity on centralized exchanges such as Bitget and Binance, as well as decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. These developments have contributed to increased discussions about BLUM on social media platforms, particularly Twitter. As the crypto landscape evolves rapidly, interested individuals are encouraged to stay informed about BLUM's progress through official channels and related TON communities like r/TONDiscussion.  As with any cryptocurrency project, potential participants should conduct thorough research and consider their own risk tolerance before engaging.
    • Counter Fire is poised to redefine the gaming industry with its innovative blend of competitive gameplay and blockchain technology. The game offers multiple modes, including team-based matches of quads, duos, and solos along with solo missions, with deep customization options and dynamic battle scenarios. While the core gameplay of Counter Fire is similar to PUBG, a battle-royal where the last-man or last-team standing wins in a survival gameplay, users earn while playing Counter Fires. The project has been buzzing the ecosystem as the airdrop claim went live today so users can claim their $CEC and await listing on 9th Sept. While gamers continue to claim their tokens, some analysts have start speculating that the project will redefine the gaming landscape citing the project partnership with likes of YoubiCapital, HASHKEY, KERNEL ventures and many more and the fact that the project raised over $5 million as the base for their argument. The project partnership with Bitget could also be a reason it continues to gain such exposure as players can only claim their token to the exchange. Though, as players claim their token to the exchange, they could benefit some reward from the 1 million $CEC reward pool. I still think many exchanges should list the token so gamers can have many choices.
    • Hi @feirb1, Thank you for your post. Please note that we offer T-Bills for trading on leveraged accounts. By trading these, you will be speculating on the price movements. This means that, when trading, you´ll never take ownership of an actual t-bill. Instead, you´ll take a position on the market either rising in value or falling. Thanks, KoketsoIG
