The Dollar Index is retracing to test support at 81.50. Respect would confirm the primary up-trend, offering a long-term target of the 2010 high at 89. 63-Day Twiggs Momentum oscillating above zero indicates a healthy up-trend.
Spot Gold is rallying to test resistance around $1650/ounce — at the descending trendline on the monthly chart. Breakout from the long-term trend channel suggests that a top has formed in response to the stronger dollar. Reversal below $1600 would indicate another test of primary support at $1500, while upward breakout would test $1800. A second dip of 63-day Twiggs Momentum below zero strengthens the warning of a primary down-trend.
* Target calculation: 1550 – ( 1800 – 1550 ) = 1300
CRB Commodities Index is consolidating above support at its target of 265. Expect a rally to test resistance at 295, but failure of support would test the 2010 low at 250. 63-Day Twiggs Momentum oscillating below zero indicates a healthy down-trend. Commodities are falling (and the dollar rising) in anticipation of a global economic down-turn. Expect stocks (as indicated by the S&P 500 index) to follow commodities lower.
Nymex WTI Light Crude is headed for support at its 2011 low of 76, though we may see medium-term retracement to test resistance. 63-Day Twiggs Momentum below zero signals a primary down-trend.
