US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Further losses could see 90.40 retested

  • DXY partially reverses Friday’s strong advance to levels past 91.00.
  • Another visit to monthly lows near 90.40 remains on the table.

DXY meets strong hurdle around 91.40 and sparks a corrective downside to the vicinity of the 91.00 support on Monday.

Further downside should not be ruled out. That said, a breach of the 91.00 level carries the potential to trigger a deeper move to, initially, the so far monthly lows near 90.40 (April 29). The contention region around 91.00 is also reinforced by the 100-day SMA, today at 91.03.

Below the 200-day SMA (91.96) the outlook for DXY is expected to remain on the negative side.

EUR/USD stays weak above 1.1750 ahead of German/ EU PMI data

EUR/USD remains on the back foot above 1.1850 in the European session on Friday, well within striking distance of a nearly one-month low set the previous day. Unabated US Dollar demand and nervousness ahead of the German and Eurozone business PMI data keep the pair undermined. 

GBP/USD recovers above 1.3450 after strong UK Retail Sales data

GBP/USD is recovering ground above 1.3450 in European trading on Friday, helped by a modest uptick in the Pound Sterling after a bigger-than-expected increase in the UK Retail Sales for January. However, the further upside appears limited in the pair amid persistent US Dollar strength and ahead of key UK and US data. 

Gold rises for third day on geopolitical risks, US data eyed

Gold gains some positive traction for the third consecutive day on Friday. The upside potential, however, seems limited amid the mixed fundamental backdrop. Moreover, traders might opt to wait for the key US macro releases – the Advance Q4 GDP report and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index – before placing fresh directional bets.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple remain range-bound as breakdown risks rise

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple are trading sideways within consolidation ranges on Friday, signaling a lack of directional bias in the broader crypto market. BTC rebounded from key support, and ETH is nearing the lower consolidation boundary, while XRP is holding at its lower trendline boundary.

Official Trump price approaches breakout with mixed signals from traders

A breakout from this range could open the door for an upside move. On-chain data shows market indecision, with balanced flows between bulls and bears, signaling a lack of clear directional bias.
