I and NFTRH subscribers have been keeping well aware of the implications of a) USD following its daily chart downtrend, or b) painting the July plunge as a bear trap and going bullish again. We’ll leave the detailed implications aside in this post and simply note that the process is still evolving. USD can break through it [clear resistance at the time, now support] and test the SMA 50 and still remain in a downtrend.
But as yet the major daily chart trend is down and a test of the SMA 200 will be very important. Despite the weakening inflation signals in the wider macro and slowly decelerating economy, which would indicate a weakening Fed from its hawkish stance, the US dollar is improbably still buoyant. Except that it was not improbable. It was right there in the July 19 update linked above.
While our operating plan has been for a resumed bear phase within USD’s long-term bull market, there is a perfectly viable scenario where USD could break the daily chart bear trend. That scenario is an asset market liquidity crisis that would, despite the “dedollarization” touts, drive the herds to the perceived safety and liquidity of the US dollar.

Gold and Silver Prices Rise on Tamer-than-Expected U.S. Consumer Price IndexGold and silver prices have increased and reached their session highs in early U.S. trading due to a U.S. consumer price index report that came in lower than market expectations. The report shows a 3.2% increase in the July U.S. consumer price index, slightly below the consensus forecast of 3.3%. This data suggests that the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates at its September meeting. Concerns about a fractured global economy are also fueled by sputtering trade and China slipping into deflation.

Core Consumer Price Index Rises at Smallest Rate in Two YearsThe core consumer price index, which excludes often-volatile food and energy costs, rose 0.2 per cent for a second month, marking the smallest back-to-back gains in more than two years. Economists view the core measure as a better indicator of underlying inflation than the overall CPI, which also increased 0.2 per cent in July and 3.2 per cent from a year ago. The progress on inflation, combined with solid economic growth and a healthy but gradually cooling labor market, represent another step in the right direction for the central bank.
