USD Performing Consistently with Spring 2018 Forecast- Now Anticipating DX Short Squeeze Within Weeks

in #investing6 years ago

This is a brief update to my post from ~3 months ago (link below) where I emphasized that the US Dollar will likely appreciate to the point that Specs will cover their DX shorts en-mass.. causing a short squeeze. This may then cause a reactionary selloff in US Equity futures & WTI Crude Oil futures as Specs will be looking to unwind their long positions (movement in DX is 'normally' correlated indirectly with securities that are priced in USD). Recent positioning in VX futures, as per CoT reports, adds to the likelihood of a DX squeeze occurring very soon, in my opinion.

Below, I have included some images from the chart that I had made to analyze DX price action for potential forecasting. I have added two sets of vertical green lines in an attempt to show some of the similarities of DX movement in 2008 & DX movement in 2018.
