$USD/SEK and $USD/MXN holding the $USDX [Video]

The $USDX peaked back on 09.29.2022. Since then, the Index has been dropping. The Index is at risk of ending the cycle since the lows back in 2008. This means a huge selling could be happening now. We explained the idea in this article, published on 09.21.2022. We knew the $USDX was about to enter wave 4. At this stage, that’s where we think the Index is. Wave four should still extend lower due to bearish sequence in pairs like the $USDSEK and $USDMXN. Both these pairs have not yet reached the target within their own sequence. The $USDMXN peaked on 04.2020. Since then, it has been doing an ABC lower. It already erased the divergence between A and C, but it has not yet reached the ideal Blue Box target.

Chart

The chart above shows the monthly view of the $USDMXN and the blue box target where buyers should enter the market. The $USDSEK also shows a bearish sequence from the peak on 09.28.2022. It shows two channels, and the second one comes with momentum divergences. The decline from the peak has a corrective structure, which we labeled as WXY. Now we are entering wave Y leg, which should also reach the extreme. We expect both pairs to trade lower. If that is the case, $USDX should be weak consequently.

Chart

The chart above shows the $USDSEK Daily view and how the pair should move. The divergence between wave (W) and (Y) needs to be erased by the time we reach the blue box target.

USD/JPY retreats from nearly two-year high on hawkish BoJ Minutes

USD/JPY drifts lower during the Asian session on Friday, retreating further from its highest level since July 2024, set the previous day. Minutes from the April BoJ meeting keep further policy normalization firmly on the table amid expectations for a pickup in inflation over the coming months, due to higher energy costs. This offsets Japan's softer National CPI print and lifts the Japanese Yen amid intervention fears, exerting some pressure on the currency pair.

AUD/USD awaits 0.7000 breakdown before the next leg down amid bullish USD

AUD/USD holds above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, though it remains close to the weekly low and seems poised to register modest weekly losses. The US Dollar sits near its highest level since May 2025 as the Fed's hawkish tilt overshadows optimism over the US-Iran peace deal, capping the currency pair. However, the RBA's signal that additional rate hikes were possible if inflation persists lends some support to the Aussie.

Gold refreshes weekly low as Fed's hawkish tilt underpins USD

Gold attracts sellers for the third consecutive day and weakens below $4,200, hitting a fresh weekly low during the Asian session on Friday. Despite the latest optimism over a US-Iran peace deal, the Fed's hawkish tilt helps the US Dollar to preserve its strong weekly gains to the highest level since May 2025. This, in turn, undermines the non-yielding bullion and backs the case for further losses.

Ethereum: Tokenization and network activity skyrocket in Q1 despite DeFi contraction
Following months of crashing prices and macro-driven fragility, Ethereum saw mixed performance across key metrics in the first quarter of 2026, according to Token Terminal.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
