USD Index Price Analysis: Next on the downside comes 109.50

DXY extends the pessimism at the beginning of the week.
The next support of note comes at the 109.50 region.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY drops to multi-day lows and revisits the 110.30 zone amidst further improvement in the sentiment around the risk complex on Monday.

Further weakness in the dollar appears likely for the time being. Against that, the index is expected to face initial contention at the October low at 109.53 (October 27) prior to the 9-month support line near 108.90. The latter appears reinforced by the proximity of the 100-day SMA. Above this region, the dollar’s short-term stance should remain positive.

In the longer run, DXY is expected to maintain its constructive stance while above the 200-day SMA at 104.52.

EUR/USD recedes to daily lows near 1.1850

EUR/USD keeps its bearish momentum well in place, slipping back to the area of 1.1850 to hit daily lows on Monday. The pair’s continuation of the leg lower comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar in a context of scarce volatility and thin trade conditions due to the inactivity in the US markets.

GBP/USD resumes the downtrend, back to the low-1.3600s

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Friday’s decent advance, refocusing on the downside and retreating to the 1.3630 region at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, the British Pound is expected to remain under the microscope ahead of the release of the key UK labour market report on Tuesday.

Gold looks inconclusive around $5,000

Gold partially fades Friday’s strong recovery, orbiting around the key $5,000 region per troy ounce in a context of humble gains in the Greenback on Monday. Additing to the vacillating mood, trade conditions remain thin amid the observance of the Presidents Day holiday in the US.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise
