Bitcoin versus DXY (US Dollar Index)

The DXY is a measure of the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies, often referred to as a basket of U.S. trade partners' currencies.

It is a weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value relative to the following select currencies:

  • Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
  • Japanese yen (JPY), 13.6% weight
  • Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight
  • Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight
  • Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight
  • Swiss franc (CHF), 3.6% weight.
  • The DXY goes up when the U.S. dollar gains "strength" (value) when compared to other currencies.

    It can be useful to monitor trends in DXY relative to Bitcoin, because a strengthening US Dollar may also put Bitcoin price under pressure. A weakening US Dollar may over time allow for an upside opportunity in Bitcoin price.
