Wednesday 07 October

Sterling looks toast today and EUR, CHF and the commodity currencies,  like gold, are stubbornly bullish and a buy on dips.   USDJPY takes her sweet time getting to my targets but looks to do it today.
I am hoping GBPJPY breaks 140 today and wishing I added to this trade :)

The S&P looks to be breaking out from a bullflag to retest the highs, taking out the 61.8fib, daily chart:.
Gold is back at the highs - Not good for the USD

Alternatively the S&P could just be retesting the underside of a support line that it broke before continuing down further ... hmmmm

Scenario three of course is that we just sit here today and wait for earnings season to kick off tonight with Alcoa ....

Here is a 4hr crude chart, I am waiting for it to show its hand.  A weak dollar should pop it out of this channel but it doesn't want to go.  I have not placed any new trades today, I really am waiting to see.  I just don't get Gold.

It looks as though we may have a double bottom or at least some support in the dollar index ... 1 hr chart:
