The dollar has continued to climb strongly over recent weeks. However, Bitcoin is also rallying. Will Bitcoin pull away now?
DXY rises – Bitcoin rises
With interest rates at possibly their highest point in the U.S., the dollar has been the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry basket of the rest of the world’s fiat currencies. At over 105 in the Dollar Index (DXY) many outside the U.S. will have been buying the dollar.
Normally, in such a situation, risk assets such as Bitcoin would be pressured to the downside. But instead, Bitcoin is doing one of its most bullish moves by ignoring the dollar and is climbing.
Remarking on the strength of Bitcoin compared to the dollar, James V. Stratton, a research and data analyst, posted a chart on X detailing how last time the DXY was at 105 in March, Bitcoin was at $20,000, and the time before that in Q4 of 2022 Bitcoin was at $17,000.
#Bitcoin hit $27,000, while the #DXY is above 105.
The last time DXY was trading at 105 was March when #Bitcoin was trading at less than $20,000.

This goes to show that as the DXY keeps revisiting the same point of 105, each time Bitcoin is stronger, and has climbed $10,000 against the DXY since the end of last year.
