USD Index Price Analysis: Extra gains appear in store near term

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

- DXY extends the upside momentum near 106.00.

- Further up comes the weekly top past the 107.00 barrier.

DXY climbs to the vicinity of the 106.00 region amidst the positive price action so far this week.

In case the buying interest gathers extra pace, the index could revisit the so far November high at 107.11 (November 1) ahead of the 2023 peak of 107.34 (October 3).

In the meantime, while above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.55, the outlook for the index is expected to remain constructive.

Here's what I learned trading meme coins

I’ve been trading cryptocurrencies for the past seven years, with meme coins becoming one of the most exciting and implacable parts of my experience. I love them because they represent internet culture and community sentiment, and, let’s be honest, extreme speculation. Newly launched meme coins were especially tempting: get in early enough, I thought, and a small bet could turn into a huge return.

The US Treasury moved off its own calendar on Wednesday, and that is the part worth sitting with. At 12:32 GMT, the department said it would at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations in the 10-year to 20-year and 20-year to 30-year sectors, lifting the maximum from $2 billion per operation to at least $4 billion, effective September 9 and running to November 4.
