DXY Institutional Pullback Setup – Smart Money Buying the Dip!💰 DXY: The Dollar Flexing Hard - Institutional Swing Play! 🎯
📊 Market Overview
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is showing serious institutional strength! After a clean pullback to the 786 Triangular Moving Average, we're locked and loaded for a bullish continuation play. This setup screams "smart money accumulation" and we're positioning for the ride up! 💪
🎯 The Setup: Bullish Confirmation ✅
Asset: DXY (U.S. Dollar Index CFD)
Bias: 🟢 BULLISH - Confirmed on institutional timeframes
Strategy Type: Swing/Day Trade Hybrid
📈 Technical Confluence:
✅ 786 TMA Pullback - Textbook institutional support zone
✅ Price action holding above key structure
✅ Volume profile showing accumulation
✅ Smart money footprint evident
🎲 The "Layered Entry" Gameplan (Thief Style 😎)
Instead of going all-in at one price, we're using multiple limit orders (layering strategy) to build our position like the institutions do:
💵 Entry Zones (Layer Your Orders):
Layer 1: 98.400
Layer 2: 98.600
Layer 3: 98.800
Note: You can add more layers based on your risk appetite and account size! The beauty of layering? You average into the move without FOMO-ing at the worst price. 🧠
Current Price Entry: Yes, you can enter at market if you're confident in the setup, but layering gives you better risk management.
🛡️ Risk Management (Thief OG Edition)
🚨 Stop Loss: 98.100
This is MY stop loss based on my risk tolerance. IMPORTANT: I'm NOT telling you to blindly copy this. Set your SL based on YOUR account size, risk percentage, and comfort level. Trade your plan, not mine! 🎰
🎯 Profit Target: 100.000 (The Big Round Number!)
🧲 Why 100.000?
Simple Moving Average acting as strong resistance
Psychological round number = liquidity magnet 🧲
Overbought conditions likely near this zone
Trap potential for late longs - we want to exit before the crowd panics!
Exit Strategy: Take profits in stages! Don't be greedy. 💰 Consider taking 50% off at 99.500 and letting the rest ride to 100.000 with a trailing stop.
DISCLAIMER: This target is MY analysis. You decide when to take profits based on your strategy. If you see your account glowing green, TAKE THE MONEY! 💸
🔗 Related Pairs to Watch (Correlation Game 🕹️)
The DXY doesn't move in isolation! Here are the correlated plays:
📉 Inverse Correlations (These typically move OPPOSITE to DXY):
FX:EURUSD - Strong negative correlation (~-95%). DXY up = EUR/USD down
FX:GBPUSD - Cable follows Euro's lead, watch for breakdown
OANDA:AUDUSD & OANDA:NZDUSD - Commodity currencies get crushed when DXY rips
Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) - Dollar strength = gold weakness (classic inverse)
📈 Positive Correlations (These move WITH DXY):
FX:USDJPY - Yen pairs amplify dollar moves
OANDA:USDCHF - Swissy follows dollar strength
OANDA:USDCAD - Loonie weakens on DXY strength (unless oil goes parabolic)
Pro Tip: If DXY is pumping but EUR/USD isn't dumping proportionally, something's off - be careful! 🚩
🧠 Key Points & Edge:
Institutional Level Confirmed - The 786 TMA is a proven reversal/continuation zone used by big money
Swing Trading Sweet Spot - This isn't a scalp; give it room to breathe
Layer Like a Pro - Don't blow your load on one entry; scale in strategically
Risk First, Profits Second - Protect your capital like it's your only child 👶
Watch Correlations - DXY strength impacts EVERYTHING in Forex

Could reduced Fed rate-cut expectations keep the dollar strong?
The dollar index extended its gains as the Fed’s increasingly cautious stance on additional rate cuts strengthened sentiment.
Dallas Fed President Logan noted that without clear evidence of inflation falling or a sharp cooling in the labor market, another rate cut in December would be difficult to justify. Similarly, Cleveland Fed President Hammack emphasized the need to maintain a degree of tightening to bring inflation back to target.
Meanwhile, the federal government shutdown reached its 35th day, tying the record from Trump’s first term. The CBO estimated that the shutdown has already shaved about 1% off Q4 GDP, with the impact potentially widening to 2% by the end of November if it continues.
DXY extended its uptrend, briefly testing the resistance at 100.20. Diverging bullish EMAs indicate a potential extension of bullish momentum. If DXY breaches above 100.20, the index may advance toward the following resistance at 100.50. Conversely, if DXY breaks below 100.00, the index could retreat toward the next support at 99.50.
DXY: Still waiting for sell confirmationDXY has continued to push to the upside, but i am still expecting shorts any point from now. The volume for longs has significantly dropped indicating possible shorts soon. Even if we push up to break the current high, I will still wait for my sell confirmations. Kindly manage risk. Best of Luck!

The Dollar Death Cross that marks the beginning – October 2025The term death cross often sends shivers through markets, but in the case of the US Dollar Index (DXY), it’s proven to be quite the opposite.
History tells us that every major death cross on the 5-day chart where the short-term 50 day simple moving average (SMA) crosses below the 200 day long term simple moving average (SMA), has in fact marked the end of a dollar downtrend, not the start of one. This is especially true after a test of the annual Rolling Moving Average (green line), as has just confirmed.
Look left:
February 2018, Death cross printed at the macro low. The dollar rallied for nearly two years.
January 2021, Death cross printed again, just before the dollar began its next sustained advance.
July 2025, Another death cross appears, once again coinciding with price touching the RMA, the same long-term structural support that has historically defined the beginning of each dollar bull cycle.
We can keep looking left if those last three dates do not satisfy, the story does not change, there is no “this time is different” while the DXY is in a macro uptrend.
Now, in October 2025, the RSI confirms a breakout from its multi-year descending channel, adding technical weight to what the moving averages are already signalling: the bear phase is likely over, and the next dollar bull market is quietly beginning. The 50 line is marked out, once it climbs above the rest is history.
What’s Next
Each of the prior bullish reversals began the same way:
1. Death cross, triggering capitulation sentiment.
2. Support test of the annual rolling moving average
3. RSI breakout and confirmation of trend reversal
That structure is now repeating almost perfectly.
If momentum follows prior cycles, the next 6–18 months could see the DXY recover toward the 105–110 zone, with potential for extension beyond 115 over the full bull phase.
A break and hold above 104 would confirm trend strength, while a close below the annual average around 96 would invalidate the structure and delay the signal.
This setup isn’t about calling tops or bottoms, it’s about recognising that death crosses on this timeframe have repeatedly marked strong uptrends for the dollar, not endings as the gold folks would have us believe.
Conclusions
The data is clear: every major death cross in recent DXY history has aligned with the start of a new bullish cycle. The 5-day structure, RSI breakout, and confirmation from the rolling annual average all point toward a macro reversal is underway.
The irony of the name death cross is not lost here, for the dollar, it often signals the exact opposite. If history rhymes once again, October 2025 will be remembered as the quiet beginning of the next US Dollar bull market.

The DXY (US Dollar Index) is a benchmark that measures the value of the US dollar relative to a basket of six major global currencies: the euro (largest component), Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc. It serves as a broad indicator of the dollar’s strength or weakness against these currencies.
It reflects the impact of relatively higher US interest rates and bond yields compared to other major economies.
Geopolitical uncertainties and safe-haven demand also support the dollar's position, influencing the DXY.
Key Factors Influencing DXY
Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions and forward guidance are primary drivers.
Economic Performance: Relative growth, inflation, and employment trends in the US versus other economies.
Risk Sentiment: The DXY often rises during periods of global uncertainty due to flight-to-quality flows into the dollar.
Trade and Capital Flows: Trade balances and foreign investment flows contribute to fluctuations.
Summary
The DXY measures overall US dollar strength against a broad basket of key currencies and is influenced heavily by US monetary policy, economic indicators, and global risk sentiment. It currently shows moderate bullishness, reflecting the Federal Reserve’s tighter policy stance and global economic conditions.

technical analysis of the chart you shared (U.S. Dollar Index Current Price: 100.112
Bias: Bullish short-term
Timeframe: 15-min
The chart shows a clear bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows forming. The price recently bounced from a minor support zone around the 100.00 level and is showing momentum to the upside.
📊 Key Levels
Support Level: 99.750 – 99.850 (major zone from previous lows)
Buy Zone: 100.000 – 100.050 (minor support/entry zone)
Target Point: 100.460
⚙️ Analysis Summary
Price has broken above short-term resistance and is now retesting the buy zone, suggesting a possible continuation higher.
The ascending trendline (dotted white line) supports this bullish bias.
The yellow zigzag projection indicates expected consolidation before a push upward.
🎯 Trading Plan (Based on Chart Setup)
Entry Zone: Around 100.000 – 100.050
Stop Loss: Below 99.900 (below structure support)
Take Profit: 100.460 (target zone)
Risk/Reward Ratio: Approximately 1:3
🔍 Conclusion
The chart suggests a short-term bullish scenario for DXY (U.S. Dollar Index). A successful bounce from the 100.00 zone could lead to a move toward the 100.46 target point. However, a break below 99.90 would invalidate the setup and shift bias to neutral or bearish.

US Dollar Index (DXY) – 4H Technical Analysis ( Update)US Dollar Index (DXY) – 4H Technical Analysis
Current Price: 99.77 (+0.28%)
Trend: Bullish continuation within a strong uptrend
Technical Overview
The DXY continues its bullish structure, forming a Break of Structure (BOS) above 99.60, confirming a continuation of upward momentum.
Price is trading above the 14 EMA (white) and 200 EMA (yellow), indicating strong bullish momentum and trend alignment.
The market recently tapped into a supply zone near 99.75 – 99.80, showing initial signs of short-term rejection, but the broader trend remains upward.
Key Levels
Immediate Resistance: 99.75 – 99.85 (current supply zone)
Next Resistance: 100.00 (psychological level)
Immediate Support: 99.35 (minor structure)
Major Support Zone: 98.70 – 98.30 (demand area with EMA confluence)
Indicators
Stochastic
RSI currently around 75, approaching the overbought zone, which could trigger a short-term pullback before continuation.
The momentum structure remains intact, and both moving averages are sloping upward — a bullish continuation bias remains valid unless 99.35 breaks down.
Market Context
A strong DXY typically pressures risk assets, including BTC and equities.
Combined with rising USDT Dominance, this reinforces a risk-off environment — investors are moving to safety (USD and stablecoins).
If DXY breaks above 99.80, expect further crypto weakness and possible BTC retest near 104,000 – 102,000.
Summary
Bias: Bullish
Short-Term Expectation: Minor pullback → continuation toward 100.00
Invalidation: A breakdown below 99.35 would signal a shift to neutral and potential mean reversion toward 98.70
Big Moves Ahead? DXY, EUR/USD & Gold at Crucial LevelsLadies and gentlemen, there was a time when forex was full of trading opportunities... to the point where most people struggled with overtrading. But these days, you need a solid watchlist to even find positions, and that's where Skeptic Lab comes in—it's a great spot for spotting good opportunities. So without further ado, let's dive into the analysis of DXY , or the dollar index.
💲 In the daily timeframe , after the drop it had, it's entered a consolidation box, and it looks like we're nearing the end of that box. The main long trigger is a break of 100.262 from a technical standpoint, but personally, after the break of 99.850, I'm already positioned on one of the USD symbols. In lower timeframes, plus the fact that breaking the ceiling of consolidations is usually not straightforward and comes with a lot of volatility, so it's better to have a pre-breakout position.
💶Let's head over to EURX in the 4H timeframe —we've had a good reaction at the 1085.9 support. Breaking it would be a great trigger if you want a EURUSD position.
Speaking of EURUSD , it's already entered a secondary bearish trend after breaking its daily trend line. If the DXY consolidation box breaks, EURUSD will officially change its HWC trend to bearish. The position I mentioned at the start of the analysis—I opened it with the break of that same daily EURUSD trend line. The key level for profit-taking will be 1.14640. I'll wait to see what reaction DXY gives—if it fakes the box break, I'll close the position; if not, I'll leave it open for now.
🪙But let's move on to gold —the commodity I'm eyeing today for opening a position. From a technical perspective, it's at a spot that gives both short and long triggers... let me explain.
In the daily timeframe, we had a strong uptrend rally that, after reaching 4377.67 , entered its secondary corrective trend. In the 4H timeframe, what's interesting is the formation of these range boxes we're seeing. So our long and short triggers are clear: break of the box ceiling = long / break of the box floor = short.
But the thing is, the targets are the same... see, opening a short here basically means going along with the secondary trend, so? Your expectations should be relative to this leg, not the weekly one... so it's better to take your targets quicker, like 3896.31 (the 0.38 fib intersection), which could be a good target. Plus, each bearish leg is weaker than the previous one, so the point I mentioned makes sense for the target.
For longs, though, you can proceed with partial profits and not close too early. Alright, that's it. Now get outta here.
Dollar I Daily CLS I Model 1 ( Counter trend setup) Hi friends, new range created. As always we are looking for the manipulation in to the key level around the range. Don't forget confirmation switch from manipulation phase to the distribution phase to make the setup valid. Stay patient and enter only after change in order flow. If price reaches 50% of the range take partial or full close.

US DOLLAR — Structure Shift in Motion🧭 Context
The dollar continues to push higher while major crosses weaken. Risk sentiment remains defensive as traders lean toward safety going into the new week.
📈 Technical POV
We’re trading into the structural pivot at 99.804, not above it yet. The daily chart shows stretched momentum — near +2 deviation — but buyers still control the short-term rhythm. The broader weekly bias remains bearish, so this move likely forms a counter-rally within the larger range.
🌍 Macro View
Currency Index: DXY advancing toward 100.00, driven by steady demand for USD amid uncertain global data.
Central Bank: The Fed’s 25 bps cut came with a neutral tone, signaling a pause — enough to keep the dollar firm.
Yields: U.S. 10-year yields hover near 4%, maintaining the yield advantage over Europe and Japan.
Seasonality: Early November often favors USD flows as funds rebalance into year-end positioning.
📊 Volume / Order Flow
Liquidity behavior remains balanced near current levels. No clear exhaustion yet — market is simply rotating into the key 99.804 zone, waiting for confirmation before expansion.
🎯 Plan
If we close above 99.804, it could unlock a move toward the weekly discount-zone liquidity, potentially sparking strong reactions across major cross pairs. If rejected, expect short-term pullback before any renewed strength.

Professional traders don’t predict — they prepare. Let price prove conviction before you act.

DXY Has 99 Problems, Getting Above 100 Is One!Here we have TVC:DXY on the Weekly Chart.
Now clearly outlined we can see there is a very valuable level here @ 99-100 that the USD:
- Used as Resistance from 2015 til the Bullish Breakout in April 2020
- Used as Support from 2023 til the Bearish Breakdown in April 2025
Fundamentally is a very sketchy scenario because with the Shutdown causing lack of important data needed, The Federal Reserve is making Interest Rate cuts. This weakens the Dollar because it makes it less favorable to Foreign Investing.
On the flip side, Consumers Dollars are able to stretch further allowing them to purchase more but unfortunately we still combat the inflated prices on goods. Companies have the ability to get there raw ingredients cheaper, resume hiring processes, etc.
The slow creeping rise in Inflation has the Federal Reserve in a position to want to be ready to potentially Hike Rates when the Inflation, they believe, from the Tariffs will hit but as of yet, the recent CPI numbers came out not as hot as they thought, possibly playing into the reason for making the latest cut.
Nevertheless, by the last FOMC meeting, it would seem that there is a chance that was the last cut this year that may be made, if:
- Inflation continues to rise
or
- Continued softening labor market
DXY: Bullish Breakout in Progress -> Eyes on 101.75 and 103.40DXY: Bullish Breakout in Progress -> Eyes on 101.75 and 103.40
The Dollar Index (DXY) is showing strong bullish momentum on the daily chart, breaking above a key consolidation pattern.
The price broke our structure from 99.50 above and favors further growth.
The next resistance zones sit around 101.75 and 103.40, where profit-taking or short-term pullbacks could occur.
A small retest before the continuation could occur this week, as the economic calendar is also almost empty from the US front.
