US Dollar Index Could Be Topping HereSee the three touches on the upper trend line. If this line holds, the DX price could move down to the 98 area. Also the RSI (10) is overbought. Such a chart could be used to short the DX, or to go long the EUR/USD and the precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum. If I were to trade the DX short, I would place an extra big stop loss, maybe at 103.90 or at 104 (maybe even higher) in case of some stop hunting/a shake out before a big move down. Then would carefully add on to a profitable position. Same for going long the other choices: use a big stop loss. (A strong close above the upper trend line would not be good for this trade; a peek-a-boo move that does not actually close above the trend line means the trade is still viable. Also, a daily close below the 103 area would help confirm this trade idea.) Good luck!

DXY - Downtrend Could Be Underway 🧐Had been showing what looked like strength pushing up against the Supply Trendline and threatening to break through, but now it has peeled and down, and it looks like a downtrend may have begun. Notice how SRP 1 is the end of the bullish phase, but more importantly SRP 2 re-tests the supply trendline. That wicked re-test is so often a big clue that a reversal is underway. It is bouncing here and we will need to see if the bounce is a connective wave to then break down and through the 4H 50MA to continue the downtrend 🧐. If it does fall then this can potentially be good for stocks and crypto 👍.

Reversal Bar Patterns Part 3: Buying and Selling Climaxes In parts one and two (linked) we covered the basics of reversal bar patterns including hooks, pipes, and keys. In this piece we focus on the buying and selling climax. In the final installment we will focus on upthrusts and springs. The patterns covered in this series represent an overt change in the balance of supply and demand. Importantly, very few patterns set up as they would in textbooks or in my examples, but the principles are consistent. Understanding why they occur and developing analysis and trading judgement around them is a primary skill. In this regard, there is no substitute for staring at thousands of bar and candle charts. One of the more important chart patterns is the buying and selling climax (BC & SC). Climaxes are exhaustion/capitulation patterns. A selling climax (SC) develops as weak handed buyers capitulate. Buying climaxes build as shorts capitulate and timid buyers who missed out on the rally are finally induced to enter. Selling climaxes are more about existing longs capitulating and selling. In general, the complete (perfect) pattern sequence consists of preliminary demand (PD) selling climax (SC), minor test (MT), automatic rally (AR) and secondary test (ST). Of the six, the minor test and preliminary demand are optional. For simplicity we will focus on the selling climax. Buying climaxes conditions are the direct opposite with the exception that they tend to occur on lower volume than selling climaxes. Climaxes typically occur in extremely extended markets that have trended a long while. The climax low is often made in conjunction with extremely bearish news flow, dismal sentiment, and a palatable bearishness. Put/Call ratios and other derivative measures are typically at extremes. I begin actively monitoring for the pattern when oscillators reach extreme readings or after a long period of trending behavior. I am more attentive on the second or third foray into oversold/overbought, particularly if there is a pronounced momentum divergence. The appearance of the climax strongly suggests that bad news has already been discounted. Trends are often defined by three successively steeper trendlines. The 3rd and final trendline is often parabolic and defines the terminal portion of a trend. I am particularly attentive for the pattern to develop after the third trendline develops. Climax structures are not created by strong handed/well informed buyers buying the weakness, but by over-levered and poorly placed longs capitulating and liquidating positions as their pain becomes too much to bear. The bearish news also lures in new weak handed/trading shorts, who, trapped by the sudden reversal, are forced to cover. The combination of the two clears the immediately available supply. Once the immediately available supply is cleared, there is not much resistance to the market advancing. In Wyckoff terms the initial rally from the selling climax low is labeled the automatic rally (AR). As the AR develops, shares are often distributed back from strong hands to weak hands. Since supply has been exhausted, the AR can often cover significant ground. Opportunistic short-term buyers of the selling climax often use this rally to sell a large portion of the position built during the climax. Remember that the buyers during the SC are not generally long-term investors but are more likely sophisticated agile traders. They often take advantage of the reaction rally to take trading profits. While climax behaviors often represent intermediate or long-term turning points, they can also represent shorter term exhaustion of the immediately available supply/trend. As the automatic rally develops new supply will emerge. Longs who resisted selling during the sharp decline to the climax lows, opportunistic traders who bought into the reversal behavior and new shorts all sell into this rally. Additionally, strong handed bearish fundamental traders may increase their line. This is why, for a climax to be trusted, there must be a secondary test (ST) that is well separated in time from the initial low. In the weeks and months that follow a weekly perspective SC, the market will test near the climax low. The successful completion of the test generally represents an all clear for longer term positions. The pattern is fractal. That is it shows in all time perspectives. The key is that the secondary test is well separated in time from the climax structure. Preliminary Demand: There is often a sharp rally just prior to the selling climax. Wyckoff labeled this as preliminary demand (PD), a point at which strong handed longs are beginning to accumulate shares in anticipation of a turn. The PD is an alert to begin monitoring for a selling climax. The PD rally should be noticeably stronger than the rallies that preceded it. Selling Climax: Climax patterns are typified by extremely heavy volume, much wider than normal price spreads and typically feature a clear reversal pattern (often a key reversal) bar or bars. There is generally an acceleration of the trend, with wider price spreads and a steeper angle of decline. At one time climaxes were mostly single bar affairs, but now the climax structure often builds over several trading days. Minor Test: In the hours and days after the automatic rally begins, the market will often suffer a setback toward the SC. The appearance of demand on this setback solidifies the odds that the AR rally will cover reasonable ground. In many cases the minor test will only appear on intraday charts. Automatic Rally: In the days following the SC the market will rally sharply. Volume is typically very strong near the beginning and tails off as the rally progresses. The AR often has a noticeably different character than prior corrections in the downtrend in that they cover more ground and volume is better. Distance traveled is important, the greater the reaction after the climax the more significant its implications. Small ARs are not to be trusted. Secondary Test: Selling climaxes clear out the immediately available supply in that price zone. Even short-term climaxes can stall the market for a period of time (think trading range). But they can fail, and when they fail rapidly it is a solid indication of a continuing bear market. This is why climax structures MUST BE SUCCESSFULLY TESTED before they represent anything other than short term capitulation. The test should be well separated in time, and occur on generally lower volume. Selling should be far less intense than on the initial decline. This is demonstrated by the general decline in volume and the angle of the testing decline. In other words, the angle of the decline to test should be significantly less than the angle of the original decline. I prefer to see them play out over several weeks (assuming a daily perspective outlook). Trading Range: Often the test will take the form of a trading range during which strong hands, usually large institutions, accumulate new long positions. In future installments we will cover the analysis of trading ranges. At times the market will make a V bottom with no test. In that case, when the new trend becomes unmistakable, you should begin utilizing traditional trend-based entries into positions. To Repeat: The huge volume and the reversal bar offer a warning that things may be changing. But, without the completed test, a trend reversal is only conjecture. YOU MUST HAVE A COMPLETED TEST before deciding that a low of any consequence has been made. Climaxes are fractal. They appear in literally every time frame. But the larger the time perspective, the more important the climax. It is also worth noting that the notes around sentiment are not particularly meaningful when working in time frame shorter than daily.

✨ NEW: DX1! ✨ INTRADAY ✨BSO @ 100.25 SLO @ 100.00 SSO @ 99.83 TP @ 96.00 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS According to my analysis of the 15-minute time frame for the US Dollar Index Futures from ICEUS, Price Action has been bullish. The price has been trading between the 99.22 and 100.25 levels since yesterday's USD News. The moving averages are all sloping downward, which suggests that the overall trend is bearish. However, the stochastic oscillator is starting to turn up, which could signal a potential reversal. The next key level to watch is the 99.42 level. If the price breaks below this level, it could open the door for a further decline towards the next Major Support Level @ 96.000. However, if the price is able to hold @ 100.00, it could signal a the continuation of a DT. Overall, the market is currently in a state of flux. The overall trend is bearish, but there are some signs that a return to the DT could be in the works.
