CHART ANALYSIS
The US Dollar Chart Shows More Downside Coming
07/05/02 01:30:58 PMby Gary Grosschadl
The long-term triple top has brought the USD down rather dramatically in the form of a bearish three black crows candlestick formation as shown on this monthly chart.
Position: N/A
| It seems that many traders feel that the USD has bottomed out, signaling a possible rally for the main indices and a corresponding decline for golds. However looking at this chart, you could surmise the opposite as the USD can easily move down to the long-term congestion zone between 100 - 104 as illustrated. |
| This monthly chart does show a significant trend change. A three-year lower trendline has been shattered. In doing so the ADX (average directional movement indicator) has gone through a bearish reversal - only the second one in six years. This reversal looks more serious than the one six years ago as the 50-day EMA has been convincingly violated to the downside. |

| The stochastics indicator shows an oversold condition which may lead to a weak rally before the decline resumes. It is interesting to note, looking back to the period 1986 - 1988, stochastics stayed oversold for a long period of time when ADX had a bearish reversal and stayed that way for several years. This is not to suggest that this will happen again but only a reminder that it can. |
| The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator also suggests the possibility of a dire cycle repeating. This indicator is perilously close to a bearish move below the zero line. This would only be the third time in the past 17 years if it follows through. Note the sizable declines that followed. |
| If this bearish view of the USD holds true then it also makes sense that the main indices still have more downside ahead and that correspondingly the gold sector will have another upleg in store. In previous articles I have said a move to $350 gold would not surprise me as the main indices dip lower once again. |
