US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Upside so far capped near 90.60

DXY keeps the trade near recent peaks around 90.50.
Extra gains likely above 90.60/70 for the time being.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY’s upside momentum still meets a tough barrier in the 90.60 region on Monday.

Above recent tops in the 90.60/70 band the dollar is forecast to advance further. Further upside, in the meantime, is seen as temporary. As long as this area continues to cap the upside, there is still room for a potential drop to May’s low in the mid-89.00s.

In the meantime, and looking at the broader scenario, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 91.55 the outlook for the buck is forecast to remain negative.

AUD/USD turns south toward 0.6900 as USD firms up

AUD/USD sees fresh selling and drops toward 0.6900 in late Asian trading on Monday, as renewed US Dollar strength weighs on the pair amid lingering Middle East and Russia-Ukraine geopolitical tensions.

USD/JPY retakes 158.00 amid hawkish BoJ bets, firmer USD

USD/JPY erases losses and retakes 158.00 in the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to underpin the US Dollar, despite fading Fed rate hike hopes, supporting the pair's rebound. However, further upside could be capped by hawkish BoJ expectations and looming intervention risks that could support the Japanese Yen.

Gold languishes below $4,200 amid high US yields

Gold trims some losses on Monday, but remains trapped within previous ranges, with upside attempts limited below $4,200 and with two-month lows of $4,110 at a short distance. The recent pullback on the US Dollar Index has provided some support for precious metals although the high US Treasury yields are keeping a floor on US Dollar dips so far.

Pi Network risks a steeper decline as bearish momentum builds

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
