📈 Market Review:

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index continues its sharp decline, falling to levels last seen in early 2022. It recently broke below the key 1,190 support level, further indicating this isn’t just a short-term correction but a sustained move lower. A weakening dollar often creates a more favorable environment for risk assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as investors look for alternatives to dollar-denominated holdings. Technically, the dollar looks vulnerable, trading well below its key moving averages with no sign of stabilization.

A second chart highlights how extreme this decline is: the DXY is now trading at its largest discount to the 200-day moving average since 2004. This kind of deviation typically signals one of two things: either a major shift in currency regime or a market that’s extremely oversold and due for a bounce.

Either way, this move is historically significant. For crypto investors, it suggests growing tailwinds, as dollar weakness has often been associated with increased interest in alternative assets and stores of value like Bitcoin.
