A Significant Change

  • The following charts of the Euro/Yen, the Dollar/Yen, and, going the other way, the Yen/Dollar, record technical extremes.
    ..
  • A reversal seems imminent.
    .. .
  • With numerous set-backs to the probable advance in general stock and commodity markets the Dollar Index has been strong and has been testing the high set with the fall crash.
    ..
  • This is losing momentum and with the dynamics registered in the charts on the Yen suggests the next decline for the dollar is at hand.
    ..
  • This could release the potential rallies for crude, which has had a modest start.

Yesterday's Pivot mentioned that natural gas was technically poised for a rally and today's outside reversal to the upside is impressive.

The expected rally for stocks and commodities was based upon a post-crash technical rebound as well as seasonal tendencies. This has been hampered by the "too much, too soon" rebound out of the November disaster. Without this, the potential advance may have weathered the continuing release of bad financial and corporate news.

Then there has been the problem of Washington's huge lurch to the left and the administration's blundering in its method of reporting the "fixes".

However, the buildup of market forces is likely sufficient to briefly overwhelm extreme dismay and provide a rather good exit for our seasonal trades over the next six weeks or so.
