previous movements :
Despite a strong bullish momentum in DXY following positive but lower-than-forecast Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data, the demand for the USD has not been sufficient to push the price significantly higher for the time being.
Technically:
the price couldn't break through the 107 resistance level, showing signs of significant bearish momentum in this zone. Given these technical indicators, I believe the price has the potential for bearish continuation towards my future targets. However, it's crucial to remain cautious, as the U.S. economy is still expanding. Factors such as upcoming Federal Reserve announcements, inflation data, or positive employment figures could reignite demand for the USD and disrupt the bearish trend.
Overall view
The latest month-over-month CPI data at 0.3% and a Core PCE decrease to 0.1% suggest easing inflationary pressures, potentially leading to a more dovish Federal Reserve stance and a weaker USD in the short term. However, the elevated year-over-year CPI at 3.7% keeps inflation concerns alive, indicating that an uptick in CPI could trigger bullish momentum in the Dollar Index (DXY).
