Richard Lehman of Trendchannelmagic.com is keeping an eye as to what the dollar rally may do to the overall markets.
12/19 -- First a few additions: I added an hourly chart on GLD to give added perspective on gold's moves and I also began adding some stochastic indicators on a few of the one-year charts to give a momentum perspective. In addition, I changed the order on a few charts so that multiple time frames would always appear from shortest to longest.
The big event this week was the dollar's continued rise and breakout. That suggests that while it may back off in the very near term, it is finally shifting momentum to upward. Gold has been the most dramatically affected item by the dollar's rise, and oil to a lesser extent, but the equity markets have held up suprisingly well, continuing to trade sideways in large caps and actually higher in small caps. But if the dollar is going to spend a few weeks or more gaining strength, that will likely tip the equity markets into a more meaningful correction into the new year.
For now, the momentum on small caps is better than large (and that should continue into January, regardless of overall market direction). If the dollar can temporarily recede again, the equity markets could stage something of a Santa Claus rally, but the longer term momentum is still sideways at best, so a big up move is unlikely.
12/17 -- The market has now tipped its hand, helped by the dollar's breakout to the upside. So far, the breaks are primarily at mini level, but some damage to main short term channels has also occurred in certain sectors. Large caps are still in their sideways channel, but risk-laden items like small caps and financials are doing poorly. This may well become a larger correction for equities, which may extend in time and price into January, but for now, we need to watch the short and long term support lines.
