The almighty dollar and the once trending DXY is at an important inflection point, with the potential to cripple the blossoming bull market in Bitcoin and the rest of crypto, or propel it to new heights.
The Devastating Impact Of Dollar Dominance2022 devastated cryptocurrencies and other risk assets due to the seemingly endless dominance of the dollar. The DXY Dollar Currency Index climbed to the highest levels since the inception of Bitcoin.
Because USD is one half of most cryptocurrency trading pairs due to the dollar being the global reserve currency, when the dollar is strong, the other side of the pair weakens.
As momentum began to turn down in the DXY, it started to turn up across crypto. The last few months have provided a much needed relief rally across the asset class, thanks to a falling USD.
After retracing back to COVID levels, the DXY is attempting to find support. But according to the MACD, momentum could prove to be too heavy for the dollar to defend against, leading to a bearish crossover on the one month chart.
Bearish DXY Crossover Could Lead To Crypto ContinuationThe DXY is a weighted basket of USD trading against GBP, JPY, and other currencies. The monthly DXY chart shows what could be a rebound in progress that the crypto market should be prepared for. However, if the MACD crosses bearish and confirms at the end of the month, it could cause bearish momentum to strengthen and create a dramatical decline in the dollar index.
This is especially important for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the rest of the crypto market, as the DXY crossing bullish on the monthly MACD is what led to the recent crypto winter. If the MACD fails to confirm a bearish crossover and diverges upward instead, it could cause further collapse across crypto and other assets.
Bitcoin is up more than 40% to start 2023, and many cryptocurrencies have posted several hundred percent rallies. A bearish crossover in the DXY could mean continuation in the recent crypto uptrend.
All eyes across the world of finance should be on this important inflection point. What happens next with the dollar and crypto?
