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

RETURN OF RISK APPETITE

🟢 Positive — Sentiment has improved, but fund demand still lags

Risk appetite is back: the Fear & Greed Index rose from 53 to 63, entering greed territory. Yet bitcoin funds have recorded outflows for a second consecutive day — sentiment is running ahead of demand. Reports of possible escalation around Iran and strikes between Russia and Ukraine keep the risk of higher energy prices and a flight to safety in play. Meanwhile, prediction markets put the probability of a US recession at just 7.5%. The sentiment turnaround is encouraging, but its staying power remains uncertain without renewed fund inflows.

WHAT TO WATCH

A Fear & Greed Index close above 63 on October 17 would confirm further improvement in sentiment. This test would not establish that fund demand has returned.
