When will we see a turn in the dollar and equities?


Lower Dollar, Higher Equities

Back in the States last night and spent the entire day today getting caught up and updating the wave counts. Heading into next week, I am focusing in on the wave structure on the 3-hour Dollar Index chart that is sloppy, choppy, and filled with overlap. This indicates a correction that should be resolved on the upside in the beginning of a new purple wave .III trend. Notice I have a .786 retracement of the b-wave that could be tested around March 16 on the London open.



The S&P market is up approximately 10% in the past 4 sessions, which is leading to this US dollar weakness. But before you get too excited about a possible stock market bottom, keep in mind we are moving higher in purple wave .IV that should hold below 804, before a return to the lows in purple wave .V of blue wave V at around 630.

Your inter-market analysis suggests a nice agreement between higher equity prices in the next few days will allow the dollar to move lower to complete purple wave .II before a resumption of the uptrend . Should the S&P roll back over from 800, dollar buying from risk aversion will return, sending EUR/USD lower.
