US Dollar Index Price Forecast: Hovers around 100.50 near fresh 10-month highs

Source Fxstreet
  • US Dollar Index hit a 10-month high of 100.64 on Tuesday.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index in the low 60s signals sustained buying pressure.
  • The DXY may find immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 99.97.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is remaining steady after five days of gains and hovering around 100.50 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart shows that the dollar index is moving sideways within the ascending channel pattern, suggesting a persistent bullish bias.

The near-term bias is bullish as the US Dollar Index holds well above the rising 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), with the nine-day average tracking just below spot and reinforcing short-term upside control.

Momentum signals support a bullish stance, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering in the low 60s after gaining from neutral territory, indicating sustained buying pressure rather than exhaustion.

The US Dollar Index has inched lower after hitting a 10-month high of 100.64 earlier in the day. The DXY may further appreciate toward the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 101.90.

On the downside, the primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 99.97. A break below this level would weaken the short-term price momentum and lead the US Dollar Index to test the lower ascending channel boundary around 99.40, followed by the 50-day EMA at 98.88.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
