USD Index Price Analysis: Immediately to the upside emerges 103.60

DXY comes under pressure and disputes the 103.00 support.
Bulls now target the July high at 103.57 (July 6).

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

The upside momentum in the greenback appears somewhat dented and motivates DXY to give away part of the recent gains and recede to the 103.00 region on Wednesday.

In the meantime, the index maintains the bullish view well in place with the immediate hurdle now emerging at the August top of 103.45 (August 14) just ahead of the July peak of 103.57 (July 6).

It is worth noting that this area of monthly highs appears reinforced by the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.23.

Looking at the broader picture, while below the latter, the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.

GBP/USD: Constructive view prevails above 1.3300 ahead of US PCE inflation data

The GBP/USD pair trades on a flat note near 1.3330 during the Asian trading hours on Friday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the key US inflation report later on Friday. The US delayed Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index report for September could offer some hints about the US interest rate path.

Gold flat lines above $4,200 mark; looks to US PCE Price Index for some meaningful impetus

Gold struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the $4,175 area, or the vicinity of the weekly trough, and oscillates in a narrow trading range during the Asian session on Friday. Traders now seem reluctant and opt to move to the sidelines ahead of the September Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, or the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.

Pi Network: Bearish streak nears critical support trendline

Pi Network edges lower on Friday for the third consecutive day, approaching a local support trendline. The on-chain data suggests an increase in supply pressure as Centralized Exchanges experience a surge in inflows.

This has created understandable confusion among traders and investors trying to interpret the Fed’s reaction function.

XRP edges lower despite record on-chain activity and steady ETF inflows

Ripple is trading under pressure at the time of writing on Thursday, after bulls failed to break the short-term resistance at $2.22. The reversal may extend toward Monday’s low of $1.98, especially if risk-off sentiment persists in the broader cryptocurrency market.
