USD DXY US Dollar Weekly Chart; Oversold; Falling Wedge; Positive Divergence; Lower Band Violation



The US dollar is going to be fun to watch. The weekly chart is set up with oversold conditions, a falling wedge and positive divergence which all say a rocket launch higher is on tap. How can that be?! Blasphemy! Blasphemy I say! Recant! Recant such dribble! 99% of Wall Street is short the dollar so by decree it will not go up and can only go down. Imagine the surprising look that will appear on the dollar shorts faces when the dollar begins ramping higher. The short covering fuel will send the dollar skyward tanking the US stock market a March redux.

The lower standard deviation band is violated so the middle band, the 20-week MA, at 93.08, is on the table and the upper band at 94.71. Once the dollar begins rocking and rolling higher, the flat-moving moving averages will likely become targets. No one is ready for it.

President Lagarde will be conducting the ECB meeting on Thursday, 12/10/20, so the temperature in the room is heating up. Currency traders will be making moves in the days ahead. Will the dollar shorts panic? Europe cannot sustain an ever-increasing euro. Germany is Europe's economic engine; exports are its life's blood. A lower currency helps that countries manufacturing and export industries.

Keystone is not playing the dollar now but has been in on the long side for a couple bounces. The dollar should only be played long. Go against the crowd. Sure, Madame Lagarde may shun stimulus and the euro may float higher further slapping the dollar but the possie d forces in the chart will simply set up again or remain in play. Once the dollar catches a bid, it may never look back. The rally should last a few weeks. The US dollar is at 91.39 slipping away from that key 92 level on this hump day morning.
