The US Dollar Index
The U.S. Dollar Index looks to go higher at the end and beginning of each month but tends to weaken in the middle of the month every month – this helps us to see if something is trend or just the normal cycle of the dollar. The dollar index is soft, we have verified resistance but we have relatively good support coming in so we should expect more USD weakness for the next few trading sessions. But we can also expect that the dollar will rebound to strength in the longer term.
The Gold Market
The dollar index and gold are both moving down at the same time. The predictive moving average crossover DOWN occurred 3 sessions ago. The NeuralNet indicator is also Bearish. Gold has been trading basically sideways for the past three months, so we are primarily focused on range trading. Since the US Dollar is slow, it’s a good time to pick up gold. in the last 3 days, it’s been down -0.55% and Predictive RSI value of 38.6%.
