Dollar Breaks 100: Momentum Builds Toward 102U.S. Dollar Currency IndexTVC:DXYAlchemyMarketsThe U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has decisively reclaimed the 100 level, confirming a shift in macro sentiment as markets move into a risk-off environment. This breakout is being driven by a combination of escalating geopolitical tensions, surging oil prices, and rising inflation expectations. With Brent holding above $115, markets are repricing rate cut expectations while U.S. yields continue to push higher—supporting further dollar strength. From a technical perspective, the move above 100 marks a clean structural break. Former resistance is now acting as support, with price maintaining momentum inside a bullish continuation phase. As long as current macro conditions persist, the path of least resistance remains to the upside, with 102 emerging as the next key target. Watch for: •Continued strength in energy markets •Elevated geopolitical risk •Further upside in yields Invalidation would come from a sharp reversal in oil or de-escalation in global tensions. Bias: Bullish above 100 Target: 102 Structure: Breakout / Continuation
