US Dollar Index Price Analysis: DXY defends 94.00, rebounds from weekly support line

DXY picks up bids to snap two-day pullback from yearly top.
Momentum line fails to back recovery moves, 50-SMA, latest August tops add to the downside filters.

US Dollar Index (DXY) takes the bids to refresh intraday high to 94.01 during early Monday. In doing so, the greenback gauge bounces off a short-term support line to consolidate the latest pullback from the yearly top.

However, the recovery moves lack Momentum and hence remain doubtful unless crossing the 94.20 immediate hurdle.

Should the quote remains positive beyond 94.20, the yearly peak near 94.50 and the September 2020 high of 94.74 will be in focus before the 95.00 threshold.

Meanwhile, a downside break of the immediate support line near 94.00 won’t be a pure welcome for the DXY sellers as a convergence of late August tops and 50-SMA, close to 93.70-65, could challenge the bears.

In a case where the US Dollar Index sellers dominate past 93.65, a three-week-old horizontal region near 92.90 will be crucial to watch.

To sum up, DXY remains bullish but intermediate pullback can’t be ruled out.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
