Cycle Trading

The dollar formed a swing low on Tuesday.

The dollar printed its lowest point on Monday, breaking below its previous daily cycle low to form a failed daily cycle to confirm that the intermediate cycle is in decline. Monday was day 30, which places the dollar deep in its timing band for a daily cycle low. So Tuesday’s swing low has good odds of marking the daily cycle low. The dollar needs to break above the declining trend line to confirm a day 30 DCL.

So the dollar has begun its intermediate cycle decline. This was week 12 for the dollar’s weekly cycle. That means that the dollar can trend lower for another 6 to 12 weeks before printing its intermediate cycle low. Which is plenty of time for the dollar to print at least one more failed daily cycle.

The Miners responded to the dollar printing a swing low by forming a bearish reversal off the declining 50 day MA.

Tuesday was day 15 for the daily Miner cycle, placing the Miners 3 days shy of its timing band for a daily cycle low. The Miners have been trying to close above the 50 day MA for the last 3 trading sessions. On Tuesday the Miners were rejected by the declining 50 day MA and then went on to close below the 200 day MA. With the dollar apparently beginning a new daily cycle it is quite likely that the Miners have begun their daily cycle decline. A break below 22.92 will form a swing high and then a break of the daily cycle trend line will confirm the daily cycle decline.

The Miners did print a new daily cycle high on Tuesday. A new high on day 15 does begin to shift the odds towards a right translated daily cycle formation. The Miners beginning to form right translated daily cycles would align with the declining into an intermediate cycle low.
