Learn Extra: US Greenback Index (DXY) Replace: US Greenback Retreats with GBP/USD Eyeing a Trendline Break
GBPUSD loved a combined day with some consolidation within the European session because the DXY began the day on the again foot. The US session nevertheless, has seen an increase in US Yields which has underpinned the US Greenback and reignited the bullish rally within the Greenback Index. The Query is how excessive can the Greenback Index (DXY) Go?
DOLLAR INDEX (DXY) AND US Q3 GDP
As talked about earlier this week the DXY is unlikely to return below sustained promoting strain in the meanwhile given the trajectory of US Yields and ongoing Geopolitical tensions. This assist implies that any dips at current are more likely to current quick time period USD shopping for alternatives as threat sentiment continues to shift between risk-on and risk-off.
Wanting on the technical at play within the DXY and yesterday’s bullish engulfing candle shut and todays bullish US session there are indicators of a return to the important thing 106.80-107.20 resistance space. I do assume the DXY will battle at resistance right here and is in want of a catalyst if we’re to interrupt increased. US Q3 GDP lies forward tomorrow and even a print above expectation will not be sufficient for sustained break above resistance. Expectations are for the US economic system to point out progress of 4.3% for the quarter, effectively above the two.1% in Q2. As we method subsequent week’s Federal Reserve, and the general market temper I anticipate market individuals to stay cautious.

TECHNICAL OUTLOOK AND FINAL THOUGHTS
GBPUSD is again at latest lows and a key assist space which if damaged may push Cable towards the 1.2000 psychological mark. A break of 1.2000 may go away GBPUSD in freefall notably if the Fundamentals line up as effectively.
Cable noticed a trendline rejection yesterday and a marubozu candle shut which hinted at additional draw back right this moment. Nevertheless, some early USD weak point within the European session stored the slide at bay till the latter a part of the US session. A every day candle shut beneath the 1.2080 deal with may nevertheless show elusive as Central Financial institution conferences come into focus and will see GBPUSD rangebound between the 1.2080 and 1,2280 handles.
Alternatively, we should keep in mind the US greenback and is secure haven enchantment which may improve on Geopolitical considerations and that would additionally go away cable weak for an accelerated temper to the draw back with no different knowledge for the British Pound to depend on for the remainder of the week (not that it helped a lot this week anyway).
