The US Dollar Index (DXY) maintained a steady position around the 106.00 mark this week, as markets digest the impact of last week’s robust Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. While a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) is still widely anticipated, investor focus has shifted to the upcoming November Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, scheduled for release on Wednesday.
Inflation Outlook and Economic Indicators
Analysts project that annual headline inflation will climb to 2.7% in November, up from October’s 2.6%. Meanwhile, the core CPI is expected to remain unchanged at 3.3%. Despite these projections, the Greenback continues to benefit from a solid US economic backdrop, with strong growth and sentiment indicators providing ongoing support.
Encouraging economic data, such as the surge in the NFIB small business optimism index to its highest level since June 2021, underscores the resilience of the US economy. Additionally, the Atlanta Fed GDPNow model predicts a robust Q4 growth rate of 3.3%, while the New York Fed Nowcast model forecasts 1.9% for Q4 and 2.4% for Q1 2025.
Market Expectations and Technical Analysis
Markets are currently pricing in nearly a 90% probability of a December rate cut, although it’s anticipated to be a “hawkish cut” due to persistent inflationary pressures.
From a technical perspective, the DXY is hovering near the 106.00 level, with mixed signals from technical indicators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is pointing slightly upward but remains in negative territory, indicating limited bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows smaller red histogram bars, suggesting a reduction in bearish pressure.
The index is approaching the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a crucial level for short-term directional cues. Resistance levels are identified at 106.50 and 107.00, while support remains strong between 105.50 and 106.00.
Traders are closely monitoring the upcoming CPI release on Wednesday, as it could trigger significant market volatility depending on the inflation outcome.

Stellar (XLM), an open-source blockchain known for fast and low-cost cross-border payments, is drawing the attention of both retail and institutional investors in 2025.
However, the concentrated distribution of XLM supply and its potential for real-world asset (RWA) applications present opportunities and challenges.
What Does the Concentrated Supply and Rising Exchange Balances Mean?
One major concern about Stellar is the concentration of XLM supply. According to Flipside Crypto, the top 10 XLM wallets hold approximately 25 billion XLM. The total circulating supply is 30.9 billion XLM, meaning nearly 80% of the supply belongs to a small group.
This raises questions about decentralization. A few entities holding large amounts of tokens could significantly influence the market. Meanwhile, about 90% of XLM holders own less than 100 XLM.
This imbalance shows that most retail investors have little impact on price. As a result, the market faces volatility risks if “whales” decide to sell.
Additionally, data from stellar.expert shows that XLM balances on Binance have risen steadily since late 2023, from 180 million XLM to 1 billion XLM. This increase reflects growing demand for trading and signals potential sell pressure if negative news emerges.
At first glance, this kind of data often seems negative for a network’s outlook. However, XLM investors argue that increased circulating supply can indicate growing adoption.
“This isn’t a random distribution — it’s a deliberate strategy… Supply growth is measured and controlled while adoption skyrockets,” an XLM investor commented.
On-chain data further supports this view. Stellar’s active accounts grew from 7.2 million in 2023 to 9.5 million by May 2025. On average, the network adds about 5,000 new wallet addresses daily. This ever-increasing demand helps absorb the circulating XLM.
Signs of Rising XLM Demand in Real World Asset (RWA) Sector
Currently, Stellar ranks as the third-largest protocol in RWA market capitalization, behind only Ethereum and ZKsync Era. Notable players in Stellar’s RWA ecosystem include the Franklin Templeton OnChain US Government Money Fund (valued at $497 million) and Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which holds $345 million on the Stellar network.

The total value of RWAs on Stellar has grown nearly 84% in 2025. It rose from $275 million to over $500 million by May. This growth reflects Stellar’s increasing appeal for real-world asset tokenization.
