No material change in price action has occurred overnight as the USD consolidates at the long-term resistance level shown yesterday.

There is a bounce occurring in major US indices this morning; still no capitulation despite extreme anxiety in terms of sentiment.

Should USD strength persist over the medium term however:

  • Stocks may need to revisit their 200-day moving average (S&P shown below on weekly intervals)

  • Silver may break down from its current support for a move down into the $18 - $19 range.

Should the dollar form a false break out, or waiver at its current long term resistance level, silver will likely hold support in the $21.50 area again. Gold continues to hold $1850, and could be the "canary in the coal mine" signaling that a top in relative USD strength is near.

Thanks and have a great day,
