Today’s lesson: when DXY changes direction mid-session, crypto often gets choppy and traders get trapped.
What a DXY pivot looks like:
DXY pushes up early, then fails and reverses
or DXY dumps early, then reclaims and rips
Why it matters:
When the dollar pivots, it changes liquidity conditions in real time.
That usually causes:
fake breakouts in BTC/ETH
stop runs on both sides
sudden volatility spikes
What to do today:
Don’t chase the first crypto move.
Watch DXY: if it flips, expect BTC/ETH to whip.
Trade only break + hold setups.
If it’s messy, staying flat is a win.
Question:
Did DXY pivot today, and did it trap crypto traders on the first move?
