    DXY Forecast: Hawkish Fed Makes the DXY Bulls Go Wild

    On Friday, January 28, DXY was up by 0.19% at the start of the European session. The index saw big bullish moves this week ahead of the Fed’s interest rate hike. 

    • DXY bulls go past their seven monthly high as they look to go further upwards. 
    • This year, Fed chair Jerome Powell is betting on five or more rate hikes.
    • Geopolitical uncertainty is also making investors return to the safe-haven greenback.  

    DXY fundamental forecast

    Dollar prices rose on Friday, bolstered by a flight from risky assets and a year-ahead projection of more US interest rate hikes.

    The DXY rose 1.3% to 97.24, the highest level since mid-2020. With gains of 2.3% so far in January, the index has been thriving in 2022 after a bearish start.

    The Hawkish Fed

    It was a strong day for the US dollar against major rivals this week, and it continued to be so on Friday. In addition, following the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s refusal during an announcement on Wednesday, January 26, to play down more interest rate hikes and other steps to limit inflation, the stock market is building on gains seen a day earlier.

    Nevertheless, Wall Street’s main indices finished in the red, negatively reacting to the Fed’s rate hike announcement. Market mood improved slightly early Friday, as US stocks futures indexes traded flat. 

    Treasury yield rises 

    In tandem with the dollar’s increase, short-term Treasury yields rose, which are more thoughtful to Fed rate prospects. As a result, traders penciled in more hawkish rate-hike expectations on Thursday, with the 2-year Treasury yielding up nearly ten basis points to 1.171%.

    Ukrainian threat 

    In the meantime, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine weighs on the market. On Thursday, US president Joe Biden said that Russia could invade Ukraine in February. Following the US’ rejection of Russia’s demands, Russia noted that little ground for optimism” remained.  

    Key data releases from the US

    On the calendar front, today we have Revised Consumer Sentiment. 

    What’s next? 

    Traders are likely to bump up how far they think policymakers will ultimately take the fed-funds rate as all eyes are on the Fed. The greenback is, therefore, likely to rally in the coming weeks.

    It has been estimated that the terminal rate will be below 2%, or around 75 basis points less tightening than was provided by the Fed after the dollar climbed in late 2016.   

    DXY technical analysis: key levels in action  

    During the early European session, DXY is looking to go above the 97.40-mark. So, the index has risen 0.22%. The index is now trading above the 91.40 level. 

    The index is above its 100-day MA on the daily chart, and the MACD is pointing upwards. This indicates a bullish trend. A break above 97.50 would open the door to 97.80. If it can cross that level, we’ll see the index touching 98.00.

    On the flip side, the next support for the index lies around 97.00. If the index slips below this level, we can see a downward movement towards the 96.50 level.
