A strong dollar pulls money into cash and U.S. bonds. A weaker dollar pushes money toward assets that hedge against inflation or risk, such as Bitcoin, gold, and stocks.<\/p>\n<p>That pattern explains why past dollar rallies often pressured crypto prices. It also explains why traders watch DXY before making big bets.<\/p>\n<h2>Why This 96\u201397 Zone Has the Market\u2019s Attention<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-333530\" src=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-1024x601.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-1536x902.png 1536w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-2048x1202.png 2048w, https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DXY_2026-02-03_01-16-27-50x29.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/p>\n<p>(U.S Dollar Index \/ <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/TVC-DXY\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TradingView<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>DXY failed to reclaim the 101\u2013102 area earlier this year. Sellers stepped in every time. That failure sent price back to long-term support around 96\u201397.<\/p>\n<p>On the weekly chart, last week printed a hammer candle. That means heavy selling met aggressive buying near the lows. Bulls defended the level. Bears now need a clean break below 96 to stay in control.<\/p>\n<p>If the level holds, DXY may drift sideways. If it breaks, the dollar trend turns down. That split matters for crypto timing.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Dollar Weakness Mean for Bitcoin and Gold Price?<\/h2>\n<p>A softening dollar often acts like a tailwind for Bitcoin and precious metals. When cash loses appeal, investors hunt for stores of value. That\u2019s why gold ETFs like GLD and Bitcoin often catch bids during DXY pullbacks.<\/p>\n<p>We saw a similar setup during earlier Fed pauses. As rate expectations cooled, capital rotated into risk assets.
