U.S. Dollar Index Loses Key Support – Crypto Bull Run Loading?

111
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has just broken below a long-term ascending channel, which has held since 2008. After losing the key horizontal support (~100 level), DXY retested and rejected from it (red circle), confirming a potential trend reversal. The move is technically significant and hints at further downside, possibly toward the 88–90 zone or lower.

This breakdown aligns with classic macro cycles, where a weaker dollar often fuels bullish momentum in risk assets, especially crypto. Historically:

-DXY downtrends in 2017 and 2020–2021 coincided with major Bitcoin and altcoin bull runs.

-DXY strength during 2018 and 2022 contributed to crypto bear markets.

With DXY now below both horizontal and diagonal support, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market may be entering the next expansion phase, especially if the dollar continues its downward trajectory

-DXY has broken below a 17 year rising channel – a macro bearish signal.

-Rejection from former support turned resistance confirms breakdown.

-A falling DXY historically corresponds with Bitcoin rallies and altseason expansions.

-Declining dollar strength could be the fuel that propels Bitcoin past $140K and Ethereum above $6K.

-A dollar bear trend may fuel total crypto market cap breakout beyond $4T+.

As DXY weakens, liquidity tends to rotate into risk-on assets like crypto. This setup mirrors pre-bull run environments seen in 2017 and 2020. A structural breakdown in the dollar could act as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s next major leg up.
