UUP trade ideas
Bearish potential detected for UUP & DXY (ie --> USD weakness)Following US dollar strength looking at DXY during the final hour of trade this morning on the US markets, both DXY and UUP represent a potential bearish opportunity should momentum continue and lower highs and lower lows be made past the current position, aligning with technical indicators of RSI and DMI. Personal stop loss for the trade would be the high of the chart formation on 03-Oct (i.e.: above the high of $30.07 for UUP and $107.348 for DXY).
Using ETFs TLT, HYG, UUP, BITO for daily flavor of sentimentTLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF)
Risk-Off Indicator: When investors are skittish, they often flock to the safety of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, pushing the price of TLT up. A rising TLT often signals decreasing risk appetite.
HYG (iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF)
Risk-On Indicator: High-yield bonds are riskier assets. When HYG is up, it often means investors are willing to take on more risk, signaling a "risk-on" environment.
UUP (Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund)
Mixed Signals: A rising UUP can either indicate a "risk-off" sentiment where capital is flowing into the safe-haven currency, or it might just reflect strong U.S. economic data. Context is crucial here.
BITO (ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF)
Speculative Indicator: Given Bitcoin's volatile nature, a rising BITO might signal that investors are in a speculative mood, although its newer status as an asset class makes it a less reliable indicator.
The dollar looks bullishI really don't think the dollar is going lower here. We've largely been moving sideway for the past 6 months consolidating.
You'll see on the chart that price action in January fell below key support. Then after that we rallied and tested the 200 DMA 3 times and have also retested support 3 times and haven't broken through. Now that price action is well above support, I think the next big move is up through the 200DMA.
The only way the dollar is going lower is if it breaks that key support. And I think we need to see a higher dollar before that support is broken.
I bought a lot of $30 UUP calls for September to express this view.
King Dollar trying to wake up after a 10% correction from highsThe Dollar has been in a steady decline since topping out in October, however, the looks of that decline could be finally turning.
Bulls are trying to show some signs of life down here to kick off the new year.
Currently holding a long position for a trade looking for higher.
Long the US Dollar Again pertaining to the Macro environment, it is a good idea to be on the long dollar side of things.
More importantly is the set up based on the long duration. The Reward Risk on this one is not the best but that's because this will be one of the long term foundational holds.
Keep in tune for our instructions on moving the stop loss to a more favorable position once this market starts to move our way.
Trimming profits in the dollarDollar pulled back into that $29.50 zone of support and more importantly, the 10-week ema.
That gave us a "bend don't break" reaction as it ultimately held as support. Now rotation higher, I'm looking at a trim in the $30.40 to $30.50 area.
That lets us move to a B/E stop (or higher) and turn our attention to $30.50+ to see if the UUP can gain momentum.
Cheers
Dolla Dolla Bill Y'allI think a pullback in the dollar is imminent. It has been a perfect storm in the geopolitical world with inflation, talks of war, tough financial decisions by countries that will likely have a long-lasting effect on their financial futures. Now unless the world really goes to crap and financial systems collapse in the next week, I am unsure how much higher the dollar can go for now. As you can see UUP the Dollar Index has aggressively broken out of its channel with multiple gaps up on the daily. The repeating pattern I see is big up then a smooth woosh down into accumulation. I'm not much of an RSI guy but the pattern is once it gets overbought you can see what happens. Now I don't think the dollar will collapse yet but definitely positioning for a pullback in the near term. This obviously would-be short term bullish for stocks and risk on assets. I definitely don't think this is the highest we will see on the dollar the worst is yet to come imo but nothing goes straight up without some pullbacks. All just my opinion not financial advice my friends.
