VXX Forming a Larger-Degree Bottom

I am still looking for a move through the 24.97 high to give us an initial signal of a larger-degree bottom in the iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX).

US Dollar At A Key Inflection Point

The counts are still quite bearish for the DXY over the longer term. However, they suggest that we likely will see a bit more of a grind into the end of the year prior to getting that sustained top.

DXY – Corrective Retrace Likely In Progress

As long as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) can hold under the 97.92 level, the pressure will remain down and my base case will remain that this has indeed struck a top.

SPX - The Rally Continues

Overnight the S&P 500 (SPX) futures continued to push higher, which pushed the most immediately bearish path over the edge and has us now focusing on the more complex patterns which had previously been alternate paths.

DXY - Failure To Follow-Through

While we still may have a bit more work to do the upside prior to this topping, I am certainly quite cautious to the upside on the US Dollar Index (DXY) at the moment.

Do We Still Need Another High in the DXY Before Topping?

Overall there was still very little change on the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), although we did creep a bit higher towards the end of the week. This is supportive that the DXY may still need another high to finish off the ending diagonal off the June 2018 lows to finish off the pattern.

OUR MEMBERS SAY ...

“I consider my EWT subscription one of the best and smartest decisions of my investing career. ”

"joneil" - Trading Room2019-06-28

“I will say this about this site and the crew in general: It is one of the most cohesive, cooperative and harmonious "work" groups I have ever experienced. Everyone's dedication is exemplary, above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership is outstanding. All the trading and money making aside, it is a true pleasure to be here. I haven't even talked about the quality of the analysis. That, I think speaks for itself. OUTSTANDING!”

"Nanook" - Trading Room2018-11-08

“I became interested in cryptocurrency trading at the beginning of the year, but knew very little about it. I found the cryptocurrency service extremely helpful. I was able to watch videos where Ryan explained the basics and potential problems you could run into. He, and other members, also answered my questions when I was confused about how to get started... The proof is in the pudding. Over the past few months, my son and I have each made 40% on our investments. Even with a small investment, our earnings have more than covered the cost of the service.”

"Rocker-2" - Email2019-05-20

“What's incredible is that not only are the analyst's here supremely insightful, collectively presenting multiple scenarios and interpretations, but some of the members too contribute with high quality analysis and charts. Quite special...putting it kind of mildly :-)! Keep up the good work, Avi and team.”

“I remember distinctly reading an article in 2011 by some kook who had the audacity to call the top in PM when they were obviously going nowhere but up. I dismissed him for the exact same reasons people dismiss him now and went on to suffer catastrophic losses over the next couple of years. Yesterdays highs of both GLD and GDX tapped Avi’s resistance zones nearly to the penny and have since turned down. And the guy gets criticized for being right. If you want to feel better about being wrong, stick to perma-pumpers like Adam Hamilton. If you’re interested in actual price action and calls that actually get updated as conditions change, this is the place to be.”

“In the course of the last 20 years I subscribed to all manner of 'expert' services . . .This forum is at another level. There is nothing like it that I know of. ”

"Green" - Trading Room2019-05-22

“I’ve been here a while and watched the membership grow. What has been maintained is a sense of community allowing for the open sharing of ideas in a respectful manner. This is not only a site with great analysts providing their services and guidance and those behind the curtains updating and making it all run smoothly but also a very knowledgeable membership willing to share and teach. Hats off to all that make this site a wonderful destination. ”

“Would just like to say Avi, Your approach and professionalism. and the time you take to look after every one on this site is superb.
