#MacroWatch | Dollar Weakness = Crypto Strength?

Timestamp: May 17, 2025 – 18:55 UTC

As traditional markets digest softer economic data, crypto could be setting up for a macro-fueled rally.

📉 US Dollar Index (DXY):

Current: 102.84

Down ~1.3% this week

Traders reacting to weaker U.S. jobs data and dovish Fed minutes

📈 CPI Update:

April CPI YoY: 3.2% (vs 3.5% in March)

Core CPI still sticky at 3.6%, but trending lower

Bond market now pricing a 64% probability of a Fed rate cut by September

🔗 What This Means for Crypto:

DXY down → BTC up (inverse correlation)

Rate cut = cheaper capital = increased risk appetite

This macro shift historically triggers alts outperforming BTC

🧠 Smart Money Insight:

If DXY drops below 101.50, expect BTC to challenge $110K and ETH to retest $2,800–3,000.

This isn’t just chart-based — it’s macro momentum.
