Re: Just system traders?

While it may be premature to suggest a major decline in the dollar is imminent,
it is certainly not premature to be watching the dollar carefully for signs of a
major reversal. When (not if) the dollar does reverse course, we will see major
reversals in bonds, equities, and all those dollar denominated commodities -
might even see weakness in same leading into a dollar reversal. However, while
the fundamentals may tell us to keep an eye out for a reversal, I would look to
the charts to confirm such reversals. Also I don't think it would take a major
stretch to put this into a system using a combination of currencies including
yen and mark, DJ utilities (or bonds if you prefer), and several key commodities
including copper, oil and soybeans. Personally, I have both mark and yen
indicated lower before a bottom is reached.
