Dollar Index Price Analysis: As the dollar capitulation continues here are some key support levels

  • The DXY has once again had a negative session trading 0.27% lower on Thursday.
  • This could be the 6th bearish session in a row for the dollar basket.

Dollar index weekly chart

It's hard to analyse the dollar index on anything below the weekly chart as it continues falling into the abyss. That said on the weekly chart there are some interesting zones that need to be monitored. 

First of all the 92.75 level looks the strongest and it is closest to the current price. There have been four meaningful touches of this level but it was first used as a support at the end of August 2015. It then once again proved to be a good consolidation low once again in May the following year. Beyond that, it was broken but when the price broke back above the area there was a small bounce at the zone and potentially this could happen again soon. 

There is a tentative line which is marked in purple and it only really had one serious bounce in September 2017. But the main consolidation low is marked in red and this is holding at 88.25. Although this has only been hit once on the chart in 2009 and 2010 it was a key level of resistance. 

Overall, this is a very strong downtrend and there would not be too many long opportunities. The fact the downward pressure stalled overnight and in the EU session could mean traders and investors might be done with the selling in the short or medium term. This means the levels mentioned above become more significant.

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week.

Gold’s decline gathers fresh steam, hitting weekly lows while disputing its critical 200-day SMA near $4,530 per troy ounce. The yellow metal’s increasing weakness comes in response to the generalised upbeat tone in the US Dollar and the widespread rebound in US Treasury yields, as investors continue to reprice a Fed rate hike in September.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP rally loses steam despite steady ETF inflows

Bitcoin is back below $80,000 at the time of writing on Friday, after a second attempt at breaking resistance between $81,000 and $82,000. Meanwhile, Ethereum and Ripple mirror Bitcoin’s cooling trend, with ETH sliding to $2,500 and XRP falling toward $1.40 support.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
