DXY is technically overbought and the market seems to agree. We had a several fair chances to break out above 108 in the past week, but it did not come to fruition. Technical dollar bearish headwinds SEEM to outweigh fundamental bullish dollar tailwinds for the moment. Lately, every time the 0.5 month (100 x 4 hours = 16 days) log-returns is positive and reaches zero, the price responds with a stronger bearish reaction and reverts back to the "trendline" (personally I'm not a fan of straight lines, but there it is).
Short Dollar, long equities for a week, see what happens? This has been my plan for the past few days but it seemed foolish to publicly suggest either direction until the FED meeting, which timed with this pivot perfectly. The market was poised to easily move either direction; not a coincidence.
Parameters:
If we break above 107.5 or 108, the idea should be considered invalidated. Close the short position around 105 unless it breaks below. If it breaks below the "trendline", we have a clear symmetry violation and we should add a lot more until proven otherwise.
What do you think?
Thanks for taking a look, good luck, and don't forget to hedge your bets!
