Finally, I now have completed some charts relative to the Dollar Index. I used Federal Reserve data for this series.

From top to bottom we are going from shorter time spans with less 'authority' to longer spans which have more. Studying these. you can see the current value of the Dollar Index relative to other currencies is at a confluence of nodes and overhead resistance. The second chart down from the top shows a 'pincer movement with a 'triangle' or 'wedge' forming between them. With bearish fundamentals and much overhead resistance, one might reasonably expect this index to break down, rather than up. That would be my guess. The current Financial news is grim, with rumours of a budget 'accident' around November 3 or 5th, according to Jack Lew. There are also wars and rumours of wars, with danger of engagement of Russian and American Forces near Syria. Then there's the curious docking of three Chinese Navy vessels in Florida at a time of Heightened tensions between China and the U.S. Very strange to say the least. Suspect by the end of November everything will be clearer. Not better perhaps, but clearer. If you are curious about what important pivot dates were used to calculate these graphs, just left, and then right click on each one and start to save them to your hard drive. Those dates are embedded in the .jpeg file name for each image. If for some reason we get through the next couple of months with nothing of importance happening to the dollar index,the next cluster of nodes of importance will be in the summer of next year. The dollar starts to break down either sometime pretty close, or next summer, looks to me.

All the smaller trendlines/nodes now exceeded, looks like a retest of the old long term trendline coming up.

Dollar index work is coming, but life got in the way this week. The $Spx index climbed past the mid October dates,and now on larger scale charts are hitting bigger nodes. Now at a .125 node on a charts with origins on 3/6_09.

Next posts will be an analysis of the Dollar Index. We'll see what we get. This chart is the starting point, the raw data.

Crude Oil Charts WTI. Some sort of an inflection point here. but bouncing on trendlines. The 1.0 and 1.5 nodes (lower level nodes) are being reached now. Some chance the price could pop below the trendlines they are resting on.

$Spx through yesterday. Scraping along upper regression (trend) lines. No bull market visible here.

Precious Metals bottoming here. Looks like a long term bottom. All charts on all time scales hitting the '0' or '-1' nodes. Meaning the end of a big move, usually capitulation.

Looks like the mid October call I made a while back was a top, not a bottom.

The math is good, but these aren't cycles, they're fractals, so the predicted points can surprise.

O.K., A little higher.

Market trying to push higher, but at major resistance. Gained a little bit in the last two days.

Facing our mortality.

I'm not as active on this blog as I was several years ago. Having a bout with cancer makes you rethink your priorities. Perhaps I won't post often enough to keep regular followers as in the past. Maybe I'm just leaving a record behind for my own sense of having accomplished something, but I will post when the market changes enough to make a new chart worthwhile. I'm not as interested as I was in the political process or system, which used to generate a lot of commentary from me. That was a waste of time.

Probably at a small local top here, we've hit the regression line.
