Chart of the Day
🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Rachel Dashiell (@RachelDashCS).
- The Dollar Index ($DXY) had its best day in over a month today as it marched higher for the fourth straight session. With two days remaining, it’s on track for its highest weekly close since May.
- As Rachel points out, $DXY is testing a pivotal area around $100 for the fourth time. It has quietly carved out a six-month base, and a decisive breakout would further confirm a durable bottom.
- The Dollar’s recent strength has already cracked in risk assets, but it could turn into a wrecking ball if momentum picks up. On the other hand, another rejection here would revive the odds of a Q4 rally for stocks.
The Takeaway: The Dollar has already pressured risk assets, and a meaningful break above $100 could escalate that pressure significantly.
