US Dollar Index Price Chart - DXY Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; DXY on Tradingview
Notes: In last month‘s US Dollar Index Weekly Price Outlook we noted that DXY was, “approaching long-term uptrend resistance,” at a slope we’ve been tracking for years now. The trendline in focus is the parallel of the 2011 slope, extended off the 2012 highs – this gradient has been pivotal in USD price action, calling the 2016 lows & the October 2017 highs and governing the 2018 Dollar advance into this year. Another parallel extending off the 2018 highs suggests the greenback may still be at risk here with a close above 99.43 needed to validate a breach of up-trend resistance.
Subsequent topside objectives are eye at the 2017 un-covered close at 99.98 backed by the 78.6% retracement of the 2017 decline at 100.49. Monthly open support at 98.83 backed by 97.87. Ultimately at break below the 2018 support line (currently ~97.30s) would be needed to suggest a more significant high is in place for the Dollar.
Bottom line: The US Dollar Index is testing long-term up-trend resistance again here – heading into the start of September trade, look for a reaction at this slope with a breach / close above needed to keep the broader long-bias viable. From at trading standpoint a good place to reduce long-exposure / raise protect stops – be on the lookout for possible topside exhaustion this week while below the 2018 parallel. Ultimately a larger pullback would offer more favorable entries at trend support targeting a stretch into the 100-handle. A breach would likely see accelerated gains for the Dollar – stay nimble into the open.

Nvidia's highly anticipated earnings report was released yesterday, but despite the numbers beating market consensus, the performance lacked a "wow" factor for investors. As a result, the market seemed to have already priced in the earnings, leading to a decline in all three major indexes on Wall Street. Despite yesterday's technical correction, Nvidia's strong earnings suggest that the tech industry remains robust, with ongoing demand for Nvidia's chips potentially driving future gains
The Japanese Yen rose 0.7% against the US Dollar after BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda hinted at potential rate hikes. This coincided with a recovery in Asian markets, aided by stronger Chinese stocks. With the July FOMC minutes already pointing to a September rate cut, the US Dollar might edge higher into the weekend.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) traded sideways against the US Dollar (USD) on Tuesday, staying just below the seven-month high of 0.6798 reached on Monday. The downside for the AUD/USD pair is expected to be limited due to differing policy outlooks between the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the US Federal Reserve. The RBA Minutes indicated that a rate cut is unlikely soon, and Governor Michele Bullock affirmed the central bank's readiness to raise rates again if necessary to combat inflation.
JPY strengthened against the USD, pushing USD/JPY near 145.00, driven by strong inflation data and BoJ rate hike expectations. Japan's strong Q2 GDP growth added support. However, USD gains may be limited by expectations of a Fed rate cut in September.
