Cycle Trading: The Dollar Breaks Lower

 The dollar broke lower on Monday, continuing its daily downtrend.

Dollar

The dollar's daily cycle count is a bit unclear.  Day 28 could have hosted a daily cycle low making Monday day 9 of a new daily cycle.  But recently the dollar's daily cycle has been stretching past day 30 days, which would make Monday day 38.  There is also a bullish divergence that is developing on the True Strength Indicator that also supports this view.  And 38 days would place the dollar deep in its timing band for printing a daily cycle low.  At this point a swing low accompanied by a close above the 10 day MA will signal a new daily cycle.  A break above 97.33 will form a swing low.

And if the dollar beings a new daily cycle, that could cause the Miners to print one more left translated daily cycle.

GDX

The daily Miner cycle peaked on day 9 then formed a swing high the next day.  Monday was day 12 for the daily Miner cycle.  The Miners would need to break above the day 9 high of 23.67 to shift the odds towards a right translated daily cycle formation.  However, there was a large Selling on Strength number for GDX that indicates a possible turning point for the Miners. So if the Miners break lower then a peak on day 9 should still result in a left translated cycle formation. And a close below the 10 day MA will signal the daily cycle decline.
