Golden Cross signal on US Dollar
Posted on March 2nd, 2010 0On Feb 18th the 50 day moving average signal for the US Dollar ($USD) crossed above the 200 day moving average. Historically this is a bullish signal for whatever equity is involved and in this case it’s the dollar. If the US Dollar does in fact continue to rally what does this mean for the price of Gold, Precious Metals, Commodities, and Stocks in general?
I first started looking at the dollar relationship in April of 2008 and then warned we would see a big correction in all the aforementioned sectors if the US Dollar rallied. Let’s look at Gold and Gold miners. GLD has a price objective of 94 and the probability of hitting it will be directly tied to the dollar pricing near term.
GDX (Gold Miners) has a positive price objective but must break above the red downtrend line if bullish momentum is to continue.
Let’s look at the VIX to see what measure of fear is in the market, as you can see it’s almost at the last low which is where the last 8% pullback was triggered.
What does this mean going forward, will the rally continue?
