USXUSD trade ideas
DXY Bullish scenario (Daily)Dxy is still respecting the market maker buy model idea.
Monday traded inside friday range.
Today (Tuesday) price already traded above monday previous high signaling bullish momentum and a higher probability to trade also above friday high.
Right now price is consolidating between a daily bullish fair value gap and a bearish daily volume imbalance.
With the information we have, price is likelly to shop arround with no clear direction before FOMC.
For the current week price is still in the manipulation phase.
Traders will find higher probability trades after FOMC.
DXY (US Dollar): Bullish Order FlowA bullish order block has been identified on the H1 timeframe, situated below the Asian session range. With the US Dollar maintaining steady strength, there is potential for price to retrace into this order block for mitigation. Should this occur, a continuation of the bullish trend is anticipated, with price likely to rally and break above the recent structural high.
Could this be DXY's fate amidst the dovish tentions? #FEDS📈 Most Likely Probability: Neutral-to-Slightly Bullish Bias
🔍 Supporting Fundamentals:
Stronger-than-expected NFP: Suggests economic resilience → supports dollar strength.
Fed holding rates steady (but no dovish pivot): Keeps real yields relatively attractive → supports demand for USD.
Tariff/trade calm: Reduces tail risk, but also reduces safe-haven flow → slightly neutral.
📉 Limiting Fundamentals:
Calmer global risk sentiment and improved outlook in emerging markets may reduce dollar inflows.
No fresh hawkish push from the Fed = limited fuel for strong breakout.
📊 Technical Outlook (DXY near 100.00):
Key Support: ~99.70–100.00 (9-day EMA + psychological support)
Key Resistance: ~100.50–101.00 zone
Momentum: Slight recovery attempts with weakening bearish momentum
If the DXY holds above 99.70 and breaks above 100.50, a move toward 101.00 is likely next week. Failing to hold 99.70 could open a pullback toward 99.00.
DXY Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025Weekly Price Reaction Expectations:
Overall, for this week, we expect a price reaction around the ATI candle zone, followed by another potential reaction near the upper LQCLOSE BOX area.
DXY Bullish Momentum Justification:
Additionally, since the LPP or investment liquidity has been consumed, the bullish momentum in DXY appears more justified.
Dollar Outlook Ahead of Jobs ReportThe dollar index is attempting a comeback, but the 100.20–100.50 zone has so far formed a strong resistance. Today’s jobs report will be key for determining the short-term direction.
Nonfarm payrolls are expected to rise by 138k. This could be the last relatively strong report before the effects of tariffs begin to weigh on the labor market. Leading indicators already show significant pressure on trade and transportation employment, though the full impact is likely to emerge in future reports. Still, we may see early signs of softness today.
As the economy comes out of winter, there could be some temporary strength in weather-sensitive sectors. Overall, I expect a slight beat in today’s nonfarm payrolls data. If unemployment also holds at 4.2%, the dollar could respond positively. Positive reaction to the payrolls data usually do not pass around 1% gains.
An interesting detail: TVC:DXY has risen after each of the last eight jobs reports, regardless of whether the data was strong or weak. That trend might end today, though, as the dollar is no longer in an established uptrend.
If the 100.20–100.50 resistance zone breaks, the dollar could climb toward 101.50 in the coming days. However, the broader outlook remains negative.

Gold, Nasdaq & USDI am comparing the relationship between Gold, the Nasdaq and the US Dollar.
Since 2000, here are approximate returns for each;
Gold up 550%
S&P up 254%
DOW up 364%
Since 2020:
In the past 5 years, this shifted slightly with Gold up about twice as much as the Nasdaq.
Since 2024:
In the past year, Gold has outpaced the Nasdaq 5:1 on gains.
__________________________________________________
The dollar had three notable high gain/peak years in;
1985
2002
2022
Those peak dollar years occurred when the market was in a correction phase, selling off before the next rally, and followed a bull market rally. After each of those peak dollar years, a market rally occurred that lasted from a few months to a few quarters with substantial gains. Typically when the dollar is strong, gold prices have been suppressed. If the dollar weakens, it may allow Gold to continue a rally. We may have already seen that market rally, which just peaked in December 2024 after the dollar peaked in 2022.
If the dollar continues to lose strength, Gold prices will likely continue to rise.
from Bloomberg 4 days ago:
"A dollar gauge is on track for its worst performance during the first 100 days of a United States presidency in data going back to the Nixon era, when America abandoned the gold standard and switched to a free-floating exchange rate."
The correlation between Gold and Equities lacks any data to support, especially considering the past 20 years of market data. Gold's relationship with the markets is an algorithm that includes the US Dollar. If the dollar is strong, we see Gold prices suppressed. When the dollar is weak, we see Gold prices unlocked and free to make gains. That's where Gold is now.
Forecast:
The only information available to base a forecast for Gold pricing would be the US Dollar based on the economic relationship of the USD and Gold. Since the dollar has pulled back slightly and appears to be in a slightly downward trajectory, it is expected that Gold prices will continue to gain, although likely at a slower rate.
Since the Dollar peaked in 2022, followed by a bull market for several quarters after that event, the Nasdaq is likely headed further into correction territory followed by a consolidation phase before beginning another bull market. The Nasdaq is currently in the second annual financial quarter of a pullback that will likely last several more quarters. This market correction began in December 2024.
DXY 4H Chart AnalysisThe U.S. Dollar Index is currently consolidating near the 99.400 level, within a broader bearish trend. Price is sitting just above key H4 support (~99.000), making this a critical decision zone.
Bullish scenario: Rejection from 99.000 could lead to a retracement towards 100.000, and potentially 102.500 if momentum holds.
Bearish scenario: A break below 99.000 would confirm further downside, possibly targeting 97.500 and beyond.
Traders should wait for clear price action confirmation before committing to a direction.
DXY Bullish move| 🔹 Pair / TF | DXY, 1 h → Lower Timeframes |
| 🔹 Bias | Bullish (buying potential support) |
📊 Key Levels
Level: ~99.117 (orange shaded zone)
Role: Recent Swing Low / Potential Support Zone
Level: ~98.744
Role: Lower boundary of the potential support zone
Level: ~99.727
Role: Potential Resistance (previous swing high)
Level: ~100.116
Role: Higher Potential Resistance
🚨 Trigger
Price has recently touched the ~99.117 - ~98.744 orange shaded zone, which appears to be acting as a potential support area.
There are signs of potential rejection from this zone, indicated by the recent upward price action.
Look for bullish confirmation signals on lower timeframes within this zone.
✅ Confirmation
Observe lower timeframes (e.g., 15m, 5m) for bullish reversal patterns such as double bottoms, bullish engulfing candles, or pin bars forming within the support zone.
The volume indicator at the bottom shows increasing buying volume within the support zone, suggesting potential accumulation.
Look for the Stochastic or RSI on lower timeframes to show oversold conditions followed by a bullish crossover or break above a downward trendline.
No significant bearish momentum or strong selling volume evident as price tests the support zone.
🎯 Entry & Stops
| 🔶 Entry Zone | ~99.117 – ~98.800 (within the potential support zone) |
| 🔴 Stop-Loss | Below the lower boundary of the support zone, potentially around ~98.600 - ~98.500 to allow for some buffer |
Place a Buy Limit or Buy Stop order within the entry zone, depending on your preferred entry style and confirmation.
Risk: Determine your position size based on your risk tolerance and the calculated stop-loss in pips.
🎯 Profit Targets
| Target | Level | Pips (approximate) | RRR |
| :----- | :--------- | :----------------- | :--------- |
| T1 | ~99.727 | ~60-70 | 1 : 1 or better |
| T2 | ~100.116 | ~100-120 | 1 : 1.5 or better |
Scale out:
Consider taking partial profits at T1.
Let the remaining position run towards T2, potentially adjusting your stop-loss to breakeven or in profit.
⚙️ Trade Management
Once the trade is in profit (e.g., reaching a certain pip gain or T1), consider moving your stop-loss to breakeven to protect your capital.
Monitor price action around T1. If there are strong signs of selling pressure, consider closing the remaining position.
Pay attention to any potential resistance levels or significant selling volume as price approaches your target levels.
🔑 Rationale
Price is testing a recent swing low area, which has the potential to act as support.
Increasing buying volume within the support zone suggests that buyers are stepping in.
Bullish reversal patterns on lower timeframes would confirm the rejection of the support zone.
Aiming for the previous swing high (~99.727) and the higher potential resistance (~100.116) provides logical profit targets.
⚡ Highlight:
This is a bank-order-flow style fade, looking to buy at a potential support zone after a recent pullback, anticipating a reversal and continuation of potential upward momentum. The increasing buying volume within the support zone is a key observation.
