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.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
