US Dollar Index Price Forecast: Falls to near 100.50 despite prevailing bullish bias
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the value of the US Dollar (USD) against six major currencies, is extending its losses for the second successive day, trading around 100.60 during the early European hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates an ongoing bullish bias, as the dollar index is remaining within the ascending channel pattern.
The near-term tone stays mildly bullish as DXY holds above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), while facing immediate pressure from the nine-day EMA acting as nearby resistance.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.2 hovers just above the neutral line, suggesting positive but not overstretched momentum as the index consolidates between short-term resistance and underlying trend support.
The US Dollar Index may rebound toward the immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 100.99. A break above the short-term price average would strengthen the bullish bias and support the dollar index to test the nearly 14-month high of 101.80, which was recorded on June 24, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 102.30.
On the downside, the primary support lies at the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 100.30, followed by the 50-day EMA at 99.93. Further declines below the channel would cause the bearish emergence and put downward pressure on the US Dollar Index to navigate the region around the four-month low of 97.62, recorded on May 6.

As AI controversies escalate, hedge funds buy tech stocks at the fastest pace in 15 months
Hedge funds have recorded net purchases of US TMT stocks on 10 out of the past 11 trading days, rebuilding tech long positions at the fastest pace in 15 months. However, an AI policy storm has struck at the "worst possible time"—calls by AI giants to slow down development have been rejected, and regulatory uncertainty has directly hit Asian tech stocks such as Softbank. As the tech sector's bullish run coincides with Super Central Bank Week, the sector now faces a severe test.
Apple Pre-sale Tracker: iPhone 18 Pro Series Shows Weak Overseas Demand Signals, Duo Review Positive but Hardware Lags Behind
According to a survey by Jefferies, after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, delivery wait times in the four major markets—the US, UK, Germany, and Japan—have shortened by 5 to 11 days compared to last year, with no wait time in the US. Given stable production capacity, this is a clear sign of weak demand. Although the China and Hong Kong markets have performed better against the trend, there are still suspicions of speculative stockpiling. The new foldable Duo has been praised for its software experience, but its $2,000 price tag comes with a 254-gram body and dual-camera setup, leaving its hardware lagging significantly behind Android competitors. Jefferies maintains an "underperform" rating, with a target price implying a 21% downside from the current level.
