another shorterm prediction?? dont view dollar in a vacuum
later in June, the $6 trillion fed debt limit gets hit
and with it, all manner of hugely negative debate and attention
in another week, the dollar 20day MA intercepts the daily
that should pressure the dollar

we may be in for an oversold rally here for stocks
but dont think for a minute that European and Japanese central banks can forestall the torrent
you are slowly becoming a contrary indicator for me
so far 4-4 perfect record in shorterm calls since April
there is serious value in such a role, but only to others

central bankers are losing control, my friend
sure, higher Euro currency value hurts the continent
but they are more dependent on American economic recovery than we are for their decades-long socialist stodgy pathetically entrenched system to respond

you seem to lose entirely any focus on the twin US debts
federal debt, now "officially" at $100B
but if you add SS rape, more like $500B
and trade gap, fast rising at $400B
have these twin towers faded away?
no, only worsened by the week

then you have the horrendous corruption episodes that run new weekly stories which the foreign perception has not lost sight of
the trade gap is not the only gap out there
a "perception gap" exists
we in USA still think foreigners hold us in high regard
it could possibly been at a 15-yr low, contrary to our view
this plays out as departure from US stocks

the dollar may be forming a shorterm base at 110-112 here
to me it seems more a pattern resembling a pause
than a firmly formed heel-type base foundation

the gold rally is in need of a rest, and it will get it now
by mid-late July, it should resume
and be ABSOLUTELY ON FIRE BY AUGUST/SEPTEMBER
you may still be singing some offkey tune then also
