In this Weekend Report I would like to show you some charts as to why I have made an abrupt short term move out of our short positions in the precious metals complex. I know some of you think I have lost my mind but I can assure you that isn’t the case. Regardless if I’m bullish or bearish I’m always looking at both sides of the market looking for clues for either direction. This week we got a major clue when the US dollar finally finished its third backtest to the bottom rail of the 11 point diamond top. It’s possible that gold and US dollar can trade in the same direction for awhile but I don’t think that will be the case longer term. So lets look at some charts for the US dollar first as that’s where the biggest clues lie.

A diamond is generally consider a bearish topping pattern but from my experience they can go either way. I’ve shown you some beautiful diamond consolidation patterns that worked out very well. It’s the same with the rising and falling wedges. Whichever way they breakout will be the direction of the next move. It just so happens that our 11 point diamond pattern on the US dollar has broken down and out of the pattern. If the reversal point at #10 held and the price action rallied back up and through the top rail it would have been a consolidation pattern but that is not the case. After a month or so of backtesting the bottom rail of the diamond pattern it now looks like the move down on Thursday maybe starting the impulse leg lower.
