While we wait for Commodities to close, lets continue the key Dollar discussion.

Quoting sisse
..... Do we have a break or extension of lows?
Quoting mayafx
{quote} It s an extension no break per yet
Quoting goosebone
{quote} Extension of swing low printed already with this month's candle. Not enough time or news to extend it further or break. So neither further extension of lows or break by close.
@mayafx @goosebone Ok so we are going to get and extension (TBC in a couple of hours) before going to direction, maps and outlooks and etc. Lets open the following discussion title:

The discussion comes from here for reference.

Shy board ...Spring Friday afternoon in Europe, working hours in the US ...but still a key day to track in the markets... as I always said...when these boards are extremely quiete and empty is usually when the most important days to track are happening ....

In any case, lets leave it open a bit longer to see if others catch up

eu wise.. no change for me. a test and probably breach of 1.0828 high.. with the 1.1087 attraction.. but its probably a zig zag path.. meaning after breach, it may drop back to 1.05xx before 1.13xx.. if so, then it rises. bullish pattern would be higher, and target would be 1.13xx.. posting on the fly.. scroll down on my name. the setup is/was posted. usdx probably needs a sub 100.. those were posted also weeks ago. the pair rarely dont reach its norms such as the missed 1.2xx
it may be safer to wait for 0585 eu.. i got conflict against usdx atm.. i still have usdx dropping to 97.xx or 96.xx.. it may encounter some R at current 100.50 or 101.52 ish..i still think it will force a eu rise. the safer trade may be to wait for 0585 eu or less w/o a LL.

For Quarterly, it just appears we are in the lower part of the range from 103 to 99. And, we are trading Inside bars I believe. There has been LOW EXT and HIGH EXT but neither broke range IMO. No Break, No Shake.

This time we are going to take a very different approach for this questions. I will take extreme bias sides in all furthers questions. Take it as you wish but don't take it as if they are actually the right or wrong answers ...you will see why in a few. The point of the discussion is as the title said 'Think by yourself' so having a crowd call, and institutional reports and me who has the advantage of deciding the questions giving lots of sometime contradictory views...

To make it even more interesting I will invite a few old timmers to jump in just for the sake of the discussion so I invite @gatorinla to give a shout just for the particular questions and views ...

sisse Q2: I chose Extreme bullish close. I'll close the question in the next 10 minutes.

sisse

PS: While I was writing, I saw @gatorinla post ...ill take that as very bearish close for the sake of the discussion only.
PSS:@primejarvis there is no right or wrong answer I am just asking a simple interpretation for today close ...nothing more nothing else.

A neutral dollar for me in long term as the bomb is ticking and might explode sooner than later ... On weekly and daily we are bullish with good nos in almost every sector not the time to load for long term or mid term ... For short term we are bullish and might get an exhaustion leg before fading ... With Trumpnonics around the corner ... Let's C hope I am right ... Correct me if I am wrong

Sorry for the right and wrong part

Second round of closes coming from the commodities front.

After a very good beginning of the year, commodities struggle with the FED and especially with Trump jitters. However they are closing very strong.

Both Gold and specially Oil closing very bullish but importantly triggering "imminent break up alerts for the short and mid term," (which we already had it triggered last month but failed).

A quick wrap up on the Q:

-> OIL held 49.3x closing in mid and short term outlook in buy. 51.7x -> unlocks 57.xx -> 68.6x ->max ext 86.6x (still locked this one) with a bunch of intermedia stops in between in the short term.

-> Gold sitting 1250.xx for the close in short term buy and mid term soft buy. 1255.xx unlocks-> 1320.xx and the ext 1440.xx with a couple of intermediate stops in between in the short term.
