US Dollar Index (DXY) — Current Value & Crypto Market Impact
What is US Dollar Index?
The US Dollar Index (DXY) measures the value of the US dollar against a basket of six major currencies: Euro (57.6%), Japanese Yen (13.6%), British Pound (11.9%), Canadian Dollar (9.1%), Swedish Krona (4.2%), and Swiss Franc (3.6%). Created in 1973 with a base value of 100, it is the most-watched measure of dollar strength.
How US Dollar Index Affects Crypto Markets
DXY has a well-documented inverse correlation with Bitcoin, typically ranging from -0.5 to -0.8 over rolling 90-day periods. The mechanism: a strong dollar reduces demand for alternative stores of value, while a weak dollar encourages capital flows into risk assets. However, this correlation breaks down during crypto-specific events (ETF launches, halvings) or periods of dollar milkshake theory dominance.

Latest AI Analysis
DAILY ETF OUTFLOW
🔴 Negative — A daily ETF outflow coincided with a negative BTC return
The return of institutional demand has failed to take hold: daily ETF flow swung from roughly +217 to -236, while Bitcoin’s 24-hour return fell from 1.41% to -1.5%. Seven-day flow remains positive but declined from roughly 804 to 253, signaling weakening demand momentum. Attacks on US bases and inflation risks are hanging over the market: the former could intensify risk-off sentiment, although the Fear & Greed Index remains in greed territory at 63, while the probability of Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is estimated at just 3.2%.
WHAT TO WATCH
On September 3, daily ETF flow needs to close above zero to confirm that demand is returning. Escalation around US bases could reinforce the broader risk-off move.
