US Dollar Index Price Analysis: DXY bears tease weekly triangle breakdown

US dollar index (DXY) extends the previous day’s bearish move while refreshing the intraday low to 90.18, down 0.16% on a day, during Thursday’s Asian session. In doing so, the greenback sellers break the support line of a symmetrical triangle comprising levels marked since last Thursday.

Not only the triangle support but 100-HMA also highlights the 90.24 support. Though, a clear break below the previous day’s low of 90.15 becomes necessary to confirm the gauge’s further downside.

Should the quote drops below 90.15, the downward sloping RSI line will help DXY bears to eye the 90.00 round-figure ahead of challenging the monthly bottom, also the lowest since April 2018, around 89.70.

Meanwhile, the DXY bounce back beyond 90.24 figure, previous support confluence, will have to cross a falling trend line from Monday, currently around 90.48.

Even if the US dollar buyers manage to cross the 90.48 upside hurdle, Tuesday’s top near 90.75 and the weekly peak close to 91.00 will challenge further advances.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP rebounds on rising on-chain activity

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
