USD Index Price Analysis: There is a minor support around 104.70

DXY extends the correction to the 105.70/65 band.

DXY adds to Thursday’s losses and briefly visits the vicinity of the 105.70 zone at the end of the week.

Despite the ongoing technical correction, extra gains appear likely for the time being. The surpass of the yearly high of 106.83 (September 27) could encourage the index to challenge the weekly top at 107.19 (November 30, 2022) prior to another weekly peak at 107.99 (November 21 2022).

In the meantime, while above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.09, the outlook for the index is expected to remain constructive.

GBP/USD clings to gains; US CPI in focus

The British Pound holds onto two-day gains marginally at around 1.3500 against the US Dollar during the Asian trading session. The GBP/USD pair remains firm as the British Pound outperforms despite financial markets pricing out the possibility of an interest rate hike by the Bank of England in the near term.

EUR/USD flat lines near mid-1.1500s as traders await US CPI amid Iran uncertainty

The EUR/USD pair struggles to gain any meaningful traction, and holds steady around the 1.1545-1.1550 area during the Asian session. Traders seem hesitant to place aggressive bets and opt to wait for further developments surrounding the Middle East crisis and this week's release of the latest US inflation figures.

Gold surges past $4,400, hitting fresh two-month highs

Gold climbs further beyond $4,400, touching its highest level since June 5 in the Asian session on Tuesday. Easing Fed rate hike expectations continue to drive flows towards the non-yielding bullion. Meanwhile, inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices back the case for at least one rate hike in 2026, which supports the US Dollar and might cap the precious metal ahead of the crucial US CPI report on Wednesday.

Bitcoin softens on institutional selling – CRV, ICP outperform

The broader cryptocurrency market shows mixed sentiment as Bitcoin (BTC) drops to $64,000 under institutional selling pressure. The Fear and Greed Index at 37, down from 40 the previous day, signals renewed bearish pressure. Meanwhile, Curve DAO (CRV) and Internet Computer (ICP) continue to extend their gains so far this week, emerging as top performers over the last 24 hours.

Dogecoin: Bullish divergence, whale accumulation support recovery hopes

Dogecoin shows early signs of a potential recovery, trading near $0.070 on Tuesday as bullish momentum divergence suggests selling pressure may be fading. In addition, whale accumulation and improving derivatives metrics suggest a bullish outlook, hinting at a potential recovery ahead.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
