USD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: DXY GUNNING FOR NEW CYCLE HIGHS

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is working on trading to new cycle highs, and to do so it will need to climb above the May high at 105. A sustained breakout above this level that eventually leads to a monthly closing print above it could have major long-term ramifications.

The range over the past few years appears at serious risk of breaking given the macro landscape has shifted so dramatically in the past couple of years. With ‘all that is going on’ it doesn’t seem likely that the dollar will continue to trade within the same range for much longer.

With that in mind, the May reversal candle we looked at on Friday looks at risk of getting negated as soon as this month. But perhaps not, maybe we see the DXY reverse here shortly around 105 and continue to keep the broader breakout at bay. For now.

This is a macro view with respect to the dollar taking off out of its range, so it could take more time to develop. But again it seems very likely at some point it will make the move.

In the short-term the 105 level will be in focus. A near-term reversal around the level could put longs at risk and give shorts the upper hand even if the general tides are rolling in favor of the dollar. A daily close above 105 doesn’t necessarily imply that longs will maintain the upper hand, however.

A breakout and reverse after becoming extended is still a risk. Trading around major levels like this can get a little tricky, and on that taking a wait-and-see approach may be prudent for the more conservative until we have a little better clarity on how the DXY wants to treat this potentially significant rejection/breakout on a monthly basis.

Some risk assets had some reprieve today with the Aussie, Kiwi and Sterling the notable gainers as markets take a breather ahead of what is shaping up to be a hectic week with many central banks’ meetings.

US DOLLAR (DXY) INDEX TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The DXY has eclipsed last month’s peak to make a fresh 20-year high today. The next historical high that may offer resistance is at 109.77 from September 2002.

Momentum appears to be bullish with positive gradients on all short, medium and long-term simple moving averages (SMA)

Making this high saw the price move outside the upper band of 21-day SMA based Bollinger Band.A close back inside the band could indicate a potential reversal.

Support might be at 10- and 21-day SMAs, currently at 103.15 and 102.72 respectively.

    • His mention of C3.ai, with its focus on predictive maintenance and smart meter management, highlights how AI isn't just improving operational efficiency but also creating new growth opportunities. Anderson also points to Microsoft’s AI-enhanced cloud services as another example of AI setting the stage for future business models. For investors, it’s less about immediate profitability and more about the long-term potential of AI.
    • XRP supporters have noticed a significant shift in the cryptocurrency's price following the SEC’s recent legal actions. As the situation unfolds, understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. SEC’s Appeal: A Shock to the Market On Thursday, the U.S. SEC announced its intention to appeal favorable rulings from the Ripple lawsuit that concluded a few months ago. By Friday, this intention became official as the SEC submitted applications to the U.S. appellate court. This news sent shockwaves through the XRP market, leading many investors to sell off their tokens, which caused the price to drop sharply. XRP’s Recent Price Movements Price Drop After the SEC Announcement On October 2, just before the SEC’s appeal news broke, XRP reached an intraday high of $0.6058. However, by October 3, the price plummeted to $0.5101, marking a 15.79% decrease. Interestingly, despite the SEC's appeal being registered on October 4, XRP showed signs of recovery.  As of writing this article XRP Price was trading at 0.54 With 1.375 increase in last 24 hours as per Coinpedia markets data For a more detailed analysis of XRP's potential price trajectory, be sure to check out our comprehensive XRP price prediction article. Comparing the 2020 Lawsuit Impact In December 2020, the situation was markedly different. When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP's price dropped dramatically. On December 20, XRP was valued at $0.5678, but by December 23, following the lawsuit announcement, it had plummeted to $0.2214, a staggering 61% decline. The situation worsened as more exchanges began delisting XRP. By December 29, the price had fallen to $0.1748, nearly 70% lower than its pre-lawsuit price. Resilience and Future Predictions Despite the recent turmoil, XRP’s ability to recover has sparked optimism among its supporters. Some market analysts, including Bobby A, believe that the current legal developments may present a “sell trap.” He predicts XRP could reach $4.23 soon, emphasizing that macro charts remain bullish. Furthermore, there are suggestions that XRP could potentially rise to $6 in the near future. After hitting a low of $0.17 during the 2020 lawsuit, XRP surged by 1,021% to $1.96 by April 2021. If a similar rally occurs from the recent low of $0.5101, it could see prices climbing as high as $5.72, with the possibility of reaching $6 by January. As the SEC's legal actions continue to unfold, XRP's resilience offers hope for future price rallies. Investors are encouraged to stay informed about market developments.
    • Cardano (ADA) is one of the most talked-about cryptocurrencies, with its price currently sitting at $0.3556. But what does the future hold for ADA? Let’s break down the key predictions and market developments in this ADA price prediction article. Optimistic Price Predictions Potential Rise to $1 by 2024: Some analysts are predicting that Cardano could reach $1 by the end of 2024, showing strong potential for growth. 17% Gain Predicted by November: CoinCodex forecasts that ADA could rise by 17% and hit $0.4249 by November 6, 2024. This is backed by the fact that 63% of the past month’s trading days were "green," signaling positive market momentum. Concerns and Bearish Predictions Max Keiser's Bold Prediction: Max Keiser stirred controversy with his prediction that ADA could lose 90% of its value compared to Bitcoin in the next six months. This pessimistic outlook has raised concerns among investors. Price Volatility: Over the last six months, Cardano’s price has dropped by 39.93%, reflecting significant volatility. However, if bulls manage to push the price above $0.43, ADA could see a rise to $0.49, an increase of 25%. Community and Rumors Charles Hoskinson Denies Rumors: Recently, rumors surfaced that Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, sold 1 billion ADA during the last bull market. Hoskinson quickly shot down the speculation, calling it false and stating, “It didn’t happen. People just lie. It’s how the internet works now.” Generosity Joke Gone Wrong: The rumors began when Cardano supporter Jason Appleton jokingly asked if a helicopter seen in a Fox News clip belonged to Hoskinson, hinting at the costs of his charitable efforts. This comment spiraled into baseless claims that Hoskinson had cashed out during ADA’s peak price of $3.60. Future Developments and Roadmap Leios Upgrade: Cardano’s new roadmap includes the Leios upgrade, which will greatly improve the network’s scalability. This could attract more users and enhance ADA’s long-term potential. Large Transactions Spike: In September 2024, Cardano saw a spike in large transactions, with a monthly high of 5,070 transactions. This indicates growing interest in the platform, despite recent price fluctuations. While the short-term future of Cardano remains uncertain, its strong community and upcoming developments offer reasons for optimism. Investors will need to keep a close eye on ADA’s price movements and the broader market trends as we head into 2024.
