US Dollar Technical Analysis: New Cycle Highs Around the Bend

US Dollar Technical Analysis: New Cycle Highs Around the Bend

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been treading water the past few days following the CPI print last Tuesday that sent markets into scramble mode. This week we have FOMC as the big headline event, with BoJ and BoE following within the same 24-hour period.

 

From a technical standpoint, the trend is up and the Dollar index appears poised to break above the recent high at 110.78. Whether that happens pre or post Fed is of course to be seen. In any event it is going to take a lot of turn the trend around, but we could see the DXY weaken near-term before higher.

 

If this is the case in the very near-term keep the bottom of the recent rage at 109.27 in focus as the first line of support. The index is digesting nicely around the July high at 109.29. A small breakdown could put in an order for a potential validation of the budding trend-line off the August low.

 

If a real bout of selling comes in then look to the low prior to CPI at 107.68. It appears unlikely we see that level anytime soon, but it can’t be ruled out given the explosive moves we have seen around the Fed.

 

Seasonality for stocks, which is applicable to the dollar given the inverse relationship, is at the weakest point right now, so this would suggest a dollar tailwind. The thinking is that we will see a new cycle low in stocks next month and perhaps a tradable low.

 

With the above in mind, this would mean the dollar is likely to stay bid for a bit longer before any kind of meaningful correction can develop.

    • Another gloomy session for stocks saw the Hang Seng drop by 3% as it played catch-up following Monday's holiday, and the Nikkei down by more than 1.7%. A hawkish speech by Fed governor Michelle Bowman yesterday and comments from others reminded investors that the Fed is committed to leaving rates unchanged, negating any positive sentiment lingering from the weekend funding deal for the US government. While tech stocks eked out some small gains yesterday, most indices remain under pressure. FX markets are on intervention watch following more comments from officials in Japan about the weakness of the yen. Today sees the monthly US job opening figures, as a warm-up to the ADP and non-farm payroll figures later in the week. A weaker open is expected for European and US markets.

    • I have recently researched cryptocurrency exchange tokens with good potential that would be a profitable investment for the upcoming bull market. This is what I found so far. 1. Binance's token BNB, BNB is the biggest exchange token and has done well over the years. However, its performance this year has not been great and it currently trades at over $200. 2. OKX's token, OKB, is trading at over $40 and has performed very well in 2023. It may be a good addition to our portfolio for the upcoming bull market. 3. Bitget's token, BGB. The BGB daily chart looks fascinating and it currently trades around $0.40. Based on the exchange's growth in 2023, BGB seems to be the most promising exchange token I have researched. I will continue to research other exchange tokens, but for now, I would like to know your thoughts on these tokens.
