The dollar against its trading partners’ currencies
The Federal Reserve’s broad dollar index, set to 100 in January 2006. A rising line means a stronger dollar. Bitcoin’s closing price is the white line, with its prices on the far right. Each line has its own scale, so the chart shows when each rose or fell, not by how much.

What does a stronger dollar mean?
A stronger dollar buys more of other currencies. That makes imports cheaper for Americans and US goods pricier abroad. Most Bitcoin trading is priced in dollars, and so is the price on this site, so part of any move in that price is a move in the dollar itself.
What is the broad dollar index?
It is the Federal Reserve’s measure of the dollar against the currencies of many countries at once, each counted by how much the US trades with it. It was set to 100 in January 2006, so a reading of 120 means the dollar is about 20% stronger than then.
How is it worked out?
The Federal Reserve publishes the broad dollar index once a week, with a figure for each day, so its latest figure can be up to a week older than the euro one. The euro chart shows how many US dollars one euro buys, as published by the European Central Bank. The page’s percentage compares the latest index with its starting value of 100.
What does it not tell you?
It shows the dollar against other currencies, not what a dollar buys in shops, which is what inflation measures. It does not say where Bitcoin will move.
