USD Index Price Analysis: Upside alleviated above the 55-day SMA

DXY regains the area above the key 100.00 hurdle on Wednesday.
Next on the upside comes the resistance band at 102.60/70.

DXY adds to Tuesday’s gains and surpasses the crucial 100.00 barrier on Wednesday.

A more serious bullish attempt in the index should clear the 102.60/70 band, where the provisional 55-day and 100-day SMAs converge.

If sellers regain the upper hand, the breach of the current 2023 low at 99.57 (July 14) could spark a deeper retracement to the weekly low of 97.68 (March 30 2022).

Looking at the broader picture, while below the 200-day SMA at 104.17, the outlook for the index is expected to remain negative.

GBP/USD consolidates recent losses around 1.3200

GBP/USD enters a bearish consolidation phase around 1.3200 in early Europe on Wednesday. The pair's rebound remains capped amid a broadly firmer US Dollar and chaotic UK political environment. The focus is now on BoE-speak for fresh trading impetus.

EUR/USD sits at yearly low near 1.1350 on USD strength

EUR/USD sits at yearly lows near 1.1350 in the European morning on Wednesday. The pair remains vulnerable to further declines amid a bullish US Dollar. The Greenback continues to draw support from hawkish Fed bets and US-Iran peace deal uncertainty.

Gold's bears retain control as Fed rate hike bets continue to boost USD

Gold recovers slightly from a nearly two-week low, around the $4,050 region, touched earlier this Wednesday. The commodity, however, sticks to its bearish bias for the second straight day, and seems vulnerable to weaken further amid sustained US Dollar buying.

Dogecoin tests a key make-or-break point amid waning retail support

Dogecoin trades below $0.08000 maintaining a steady decline for the seventh straight week. The meme coin is losing its retail strength as DOGE futures Open Interest drops 10% in 24 hours, while institutional demand remains muted with zero inflows so far this week.

Tech rout weighs on US stocks as the USD clocks a fresh 2026 high

Major US equity benchmarks ended Tuesday’s session considerably in the red, with the Nasdaq 100 down 3.3%, the S&P 500 off by 1.4%, and the Dow Jones down 0.1%. Stocks were largely weighed down by tech amid doubts over the AI-driven rally; the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index slid nearly 8%.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
