  • The US Dollar Index may test a four-month high of 105.45 level.
  • The DXY keeps a bullish outlook as it moves upwards within an ascending channel.
  • The nine-day EMA appears as the immediate support at the 104.25 level.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) maintains its position on daily gains, hovering around 104.50 during European trading hours on Friday. The analysis of the daily chart indicates an ongoing bullish bias as the index moves upwards within an ascending channel.

Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level, reinforcing the prevailing bullish sentiment. Additionally, the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is positioned above the 14-day EMA, indicating short-term price movement upwards

In terms of resistance, the DXY could appreciate toward a four-month high of 105.45 level, which was marked on November 6. A breakthrough above this level could reinforce the market sentiment and support the DXY to approach the upper boundary of the ascending channel at the psychological level of 106.00.

On the downside, the nine-day EMA appears as the immediate support at 104.25 level, followed by the 14-day EMA at 104.09 level. A break below this level could put downward pressure on the US Dollar Index to navigate toward the lower boundary of the ascending channel at 103.70 level.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
