Market Insights
The Analysis
US Dollar Index (DXY) met with resistance just above the 100 mark. It was a volatile week with interest rate announcements and speculation about a potential reduction cycle. It was also a volatile week for Equities, Precious metals and Oil. The upcoming week, however, does not have significant news/ events scheduled. The volatility is likely to be lower, with the aftermath of the previous weeks events playing out. DXY is likely to be bearish, as also the case with Gold, Oil, Equities and Cryptos.
The Action
Short DXY at 99.75. Also look to Short Equities, Oil and Gold on pull-backs.
