Dec 1, 2024

Highlights and themes

  • The big story is that the recent US Dollar strength has started to reverse across all crosses or, in a few cases, has just stalled the recent move.
  • Dollar Indexes had recent daily DeMark Sequential and Combo sell Countdown 13’s that didn’t turn immediately and last week triggered weekly sell Setup 9’s which worked the last two times this indicator qualified.
  • Several European currencies were oversold
  • It also has seen Yen strength return which the last time that happened was in late July with a nasty yen carry trade panic unwind.
  • Crypto remains overbought but no reversals to note.
