The Dollar Index followed through after last week’s breakout above resistance at 81.50/82.00, confirming the fresh advance signaled by a 63-day Twiggs Momentum trough above zero. Target for the advance is 86.00*.
* Target calculation: 82 + ( 82 – 78 ) = 86
On the daily chart, spot gold tests medium-term support at $1530/ounce. Long tails indicate buying support but the rising dollar continues to apply downward pressure. Breach of support and follow-through below $1500 would signal a long-term decline to $1200/ounce*. Declining 63-day Twiggs Momentum (below zero) already indicates a primary down-trend. Recovery above $1600 is less likely but would indicate that the down-trend is weakening.
* Target calculation: 1500 – ( 1800 – 1500 ) = 1200

Paul krugman does not have a great mind. He could not see the problems coming therefore could not have anything useful to say about how to fix it. See bill bonner’s critique of his work. Bill saw the dot com and housing bust coming way before they happened. Cheers
I’m also a fan of Bill Bonner. His book Empire of Debt is great reading.
