The US Dollar Index (DXY) held around 102.2 early Monday, near its 18-month peak, as investors watched Middle East tensions and key US inflation data. According to BeInCrypto, analysts are split on whether the rally will stall at a long-term trendline or extend an 18-year bull market. Wednesday’s CPI report is the next major test, with Barclays seeing room for a pullback if inflation cools.
