DXY (USD) - JOURNAL - ACTIVE UPDATES

Updated
My analysis today is an actively managed BLOG post looking at the current price of the DXY (USD).

> The post will be updated daily with comments and trade ideas to generate a series where you, the reader, can learn - ACTIVELY - from the analysis and decisions.


In the following analysis, I highlight a LONG scenario, focusing on the technical KEY points that will be relevant in the coming days.

> As soon as the temporary direction of the price emerges, I update the post accordingly, with entries, stop-loss & take-profit levels.


CAUTION IS CONTINUED.

The DXY still has not found its bottom; however, we are facing daily and weekly resistances in FX MAJOR - pairs, which could serve as relevant resistances.
> Once the ab-sale starts here, this will bring the necessary energy for the DXY to move up!


WHAT DO THE MAJORs HAVE - to do with the DXY!!!

To help you understand the relevance and composition of the "DXY Index", let's take a closer look at it.

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is a ratio (index) that compares the value of the U.S. dollar using a basket of six currencies.

> EUR = 57.6
> JPY = 13.6 %
> GBP = 11.9 %
> CAD = 9.1 %
> SEK = 4.2 %
> CHF = 3.6 %


Despite all the reasons that argue for a LONG in the DXY, the price can break through existing levels.
> So you know which levels I am talking about, they are added as comments below the post.

# Positioning after confirmation of MAJORs = LONG.


If this idea and explanation added any value to you, I would be very happy to receive a review of it.

Thank you, and happy trading!
Note
Those levels shown will come into play if we see another leg down.

POSITIVE NEWS

> 30 minutes ago, we got the new EMPIRE STATE MANUFACTORING INDEX data, which was positive for the USD = DXY.
> We nearly created a 4-hour - BULLISH ENGULFING -  close, which got pushed down short before the candle close. 
> Still we break out of the sideways range of the DXY, so we should see a further bullish move from the DXY and the entry of a correction in the EUR = MAJORs.

= DXY < LONG
= EUR < SHORT

Note
RESISTANCE LEVEL
snapshot
Note
After today's LONDON - session executed a push-up, in the MAJORs, still no LL was made in the DXY.

This reflects, in my opinion, the degree of exhaustion that the MAJORs have reached and argues for a bullish DXY.

> Should we test the Lows one more time, we are very likely to break through in the DXY and run into the previously marked HTF supports.

snapshot
Note
The DXY has found a little strength and almost reached the last higher low, which will now serve as resistance.

> We should see another run to this higher low after the small correction and confirm it - possibly this can be recaptured and used as a springboard for further highs.

snapshot
Note
The daily closing candle has created a SUPPORTING SUPPLY ZONE.
> This is in addition to this Bullish candle another confirmation of the coming rise.
> Today in 3h 10 min the "Unemployment Claims" will be released, setting the tone in the DXY (USD) & EUR, until next week Monday.

For a complete confirmation of the thesis, we need another bullish daily candle, and then nothing should stand in the way of the LONG.

snapshot
Trade closed: target reached
snapshot
Note
The DXY has reached the VIOLET marked target zone and successfully broken through it per candle close (4 h).

In the following, one can expect further buying pressure, but it is important to wait and see.

> The price is at the bottom of the HTF channel and accordingly a very strong resistance.
> In addition, this resistance coincides with a HTF high-low, which is marked as MSB in the chart. (This was broken with a 4 h candle, but it takes several closes for this resistance to be gained as support).
> From here we must now wait and watch how the price reacts, future predictions are difficult at this point.

Despite this, there is hope that the DXY will continue to rise.
> The DXY is an index which is composed of the Major FX pairs.
> The EUR falls with 57.6% very strongly in the weight and makes a large part of the movements.
> This is just at a point where it will be difficult to catch = probably we will correct further in the EUR for the time being, which gives the DXY the option to rise further.

snapshot
Note
The following chart should serve as an example of how much we are influenced by our subconscious.

It concerns here the DXY, which I represented in "INVERTED" form.

> In addition, the colors were taken from the candles, so that the greatest possible confusion arises and one can evaluate the situation neutrally.
> With different coloring in the chart and other approaches, you can put your previously formed opinion to the test.
> Try it out on your own and test your fixed opinion for its stability.

snapshot
Note
Anyone who also wants to take the small SWINGs, or in case this was the maximum in the DXY, can now go in with the small SHORT positions.

We should see at least a small correction and test in the DXY up to this marked AREA.

snapshot
Note
Just published are the new PMI data from France and Germany, which are both "NEGATIVE".
> For this reason, the upwards push continued earlier than expected.
> This may change again in 6h when the American PMI data will be released.

If the American PMI is positive, the sell-off will continue after the event.

snapshot
Note
The American PMI data were more positive than negative, but not by much.
> For this reason, the price action was rather boring and the rise is continued slowly.

The following levels are the next resistance zones where we can expect a reaction.

snapshot
Note
An hour ago, the "German ifo Business Climate" data was published, which, against expectations, showed poor results.
+ | USD (DXY) 
- | EUR

In 5 hours, we will receive the American "CB Consumer Confidence" data, which could decide the next movement.
> However, tomorrow is "FOMC", so the market will most likely react more calmly to the new data than it normally would.

Tomorrow will then be the big landmark decision, so we can reassess from there.
Note
We received the new data from the EU Main Refinancing Rate, which was neutral.
> In the following, the "Monetary Policy Statement" was held, which predicted a very dark future for the EUR.
> For this reason, the correction in the USD ended and a strong rise occurred.

In the following chart, you can see all relevant support and resistance areas.
> The DXY - 4H close, was extremely bullish.

snapshot
Note
The daily candle close will be bullish.
> Some news will come out about tomorrow, however, I personally can not imagine that this candle is defeated for now.
> In any case, this is a clear sign, for the still coming rise.
> The circled area has very strong resistances, which can be a difficult obstacle to take.

Note
We got the "ADP Non-Farm Employment Change" numbers from the USA, which were really positive for the USD.

With that, the USD dominance (DXY) will continue to rise until we see the next CPI data tomorrow.
= pressure on all other markets related to it
Note

Note
HTF wise there is still room to climb.
snapshot
Note
The market should show little volatility until today's news events:
> USD - Unemployment Claims (in 4 hours)
> USD - ISM Services PMI (in 6 hours)

There will be extreme volatility at these events, so caution is advised.
Note
USD - Unemployment Claims
= Neutral data release / we need to wait for the ISM for bias
Note
USD - ISM Services PMI
= Negative data release / the pressure on the DXY is high, and with that, the possibility for a correction got higher.
Note
All markets seem to be gathering liquidity right now and waiting.
= Ranges have formed, and we can say the direction only when a range is significantly broken, with confirmation of the range.

Tomorrow will be published 3x relevant American economic data, the results of which the market will wait with great anticipation.

> Average Hourly Earnings m/m
> Non-Farm Employment Change
> Unemployment Rate
Note
snapshot
Note
Mixed data print - as a consequence we should see a mixed market reaction and volatility over the next few hours.

> Average Hourly Earnings m/m
= PRO < USD
> Non-Farm Employment Change
= CONTRA > USD
> Unemployment Rate
= PRO < USD
Note
snapshot
Note
The DAY - candle close has turned out bearish:
> However, the candle itself reflects a DOJI - which in turn means indecision.
> Price has hit the 0.328 FIB (of the whole move), which is why I expect a Bullish reaction intra-day at the start of the week.
> The probability speaks rather for a further Ab-sale next week, however, the candle closure was generated only because of the event on Friday - therefore is still cautious announced, regarding BIAS change.

Note
The DXY is currently collecting liquidity and will push a little bit to the upside.
snapshot
Note
The volatility will continue to be slow because we have two major events at the end of this week:
> Thursday = CPI
> Friday = PPI

The market is waiting for the results of these events = there should be no big move until Thursday.

Note
DAILY CLOSE - INDECISIVE

> Hanging men candle indicates reversal, but there wasn't enough volume intra-day to be anywhere significant.
> I'm sure that we will see today with the USD event, a significant direction move. 
> In which direction - no one can predict, we need to wait for the data.

snapshot
Note
snapshot
Note
USD - CPI + Unemployment Claims
= Negative data release / the pressure on the DXY is high, and with that, the possibility of a correction will come into play now.
Note
Tomorrow are big impact news for the USD = "PPI data" + "Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment" afterward
> Until that, the price should move slowly because the market is waiting for the release.
Note
Valid until CPI:
snapshot
Note
< USD NEWS > PPI + CORE PPI
= Positive data release / the pressure on the DXY is thus less.
= Thus, the possibility of a further upward movement now comes into play.
Note
DAILY CLOSING PRICE = BULLISH

> The candle did not form a formation worth highlighting 
= the only thing to note is the longer shadow at the bottom
 
> The "CLOSING COURSE" was below the HH of 2020 (102,903), which now serves as resistance.
> The HH of 2023 (102,041), will serve us in corrective behavior, as support.
> The "FIBONACCI-LEVEL" of the upward movement = 0.88 & 0.75/0.786 - could be successfully worked off next week with another movement.
> The "SUPPLY - ZONE" located above it serves as additional resistance.
> The MA (200) - serves as resistance at 103.350 points.
> The MA (5, 8, 20, 50, 100) - serve as support.
