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.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

Gold eyes a daily closing above key 61.8% Fibo resistance

Gold is adding over 1% early Monday, after having gained 2% on Friday. The bright metal scales key technical hurdles, as buyers stay strong amid renewed tariffs and economic uncertainty alongside looming US-Iran geopolitical tensions.

Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero extended losses as Bitcoin loses $65,000

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
