US Retail Sales Show Economic Resilience as Inflation Pressures Mount

In GOOGL's technical outlook, the price is above the 20-day and 50-day SMAs, with RSI at 58 in neutral-positive territory; however, MACD is below the signal line and momentum is weak. The news flow is both positive and negative, thus not providing a clear directional signal. In the short term, the 344-346 band should be monitored as support/resistance; without a volume-backed breakout, directional uncertainty may persist. Therefore, I assess the 1-3 day impact as neutral.

U.S. retail sales showing economic resilience and rising inflation pressures could strengthen expectations that the Fed may delay rate cuts or adopt a more hawkish stance, supporting the DXY. Technical indicators also confirm this view: the price is above the SMA20 and SMA50, the RSI at 56 is in neutral-positive territory, and the MACD is slightly above the signal line. However, the 24-hour change is very limited (+0.03%) and momentum is not yet strong; therefore, the upward trend may be moderate. In the short term, the 99.60-99.70 band should be watched as support, and 100.00 as psychological resistance. If the inflation emphasis in the news flow pushes rate expectations higher, a limited upward movement in the DXY is possible.

Strong retail sales indicate economic resilience, while rising inflation pressures may delay Fed rate cut expectations. This dual effect creates a mixed picture for the index. Technical indicators already show a weak trend: the price is below the SMA20 and SMA50, and the MACD is in negative territory but approaching the signal line, suggesting a potential recovery. The RSI is at 48, in neutral territory, with no oversold or overbought pressure. In the short term, a volatile course within the 7600-7650 band can be expected; the movement in bond yields after the inflation data will be decisive.
