USD pairs see sentiment shift as dollar weakness triggers repositioning

Major USD pairs are experiencing significant sentiment shifts as broad dollar weakness prompts traders to reassess positions. EUR/USD has broken above 1.0800 resistance, GBP/USD tests 1.2750, while USD/JPY retreats toward 150.00 support levels. The move coincides with softer US economic data and growing expectations of Fed policy adjustments in 2024. Risk sentiment has improved, with the Nasdaq 100 gaining 1.2%, further pressuring the safe-haven dollar. Technical indicators across USD pairs show oversold conditions developing, suggesting potential for near-term consolidation. However, the fundamental backdrop remains challenging for the dollar, with inflation cooling faster than expected. Traders are rotating into higher-yielding currencies and risk assets, marking a potential shift in the dominant trend that characterized much of 2024's dollar strength.
