Why This "Crossover" is Bad News for Stocks

By Jeff Clark, editor, Market Minute

The U.S. dollar is setting up for another move higher.

Traders should pay attention. Because a bullish dollar is bearish for the stock market.

We only need to look at the action of the dollar in September for proof of that.

Look at Wednesday’s chart of the Invesco DB U.S. Dollar Index Fund (UUP)…

When we looked at this chart in late August, we noticed a potential bottoming pattern. Sure enough, the dollar bottomed at the end of August – which coincided with a top in the S&P 500.

And, as UUP rallied above $25.50 last week – a gain of 2.3% in three weeks (which is a MONSTER move for a currency) – the S&P 500 fell nearly 9%.

Of course, the stock market has bounced back a bit this week. And, that has coincided with a decline in the U.S. dollar.

[URGENT] Special Warning to President Trump

Now, though, it looks to me like the dollar is gearing up for another bounce. You see, the rally in September caused the dollar to pop above all of its various moving averages. And, it pushed the short term 9-day (red line) and 20-day (green line) exponential moving averages (EMA) above the 50-day moving average (MA – blue line).

This sort of “bullish crossover” often leads to an even stronger move higher.

So far, it looks like the recent weakness in UUP is just a simple pullback to retest the former resistance level (the horizontal blue line) as support. That often happens following a “breakout” move.

UUP could fall a little more over the next day or two. But, with the moving averages now in a bullish configuration – with the 9-day EMA above the 20-day EMA, and the 20-day EMA above the 50-day MA – the odds are high that support will hold, and UUP will bounce.

And, as we saw in September, a bouncing dollar is bearish for the stock market.

Best regards and good trading,

P.S. What if I told you to ignore 99% of the stocks out there, and instead just focus on a select few that could make you triple-digit gains?

That would be a completely untraditional route, but it’s the path that's consistently made me money for decades. And I trust that it could work for you as well.
