As you can see above – Gold, Silver, TR Commodity Index and Crude Oil have all been impacted by the strength in the US$ over the past three years.

As you can see the Dollar and Euro are now at the same prices as six years ago, as both are inside of sideways trading channels, each facing key resistance/support channels, with sentiment near extremes.

One guarantee….Sideways channels have to come to an end some time! Is now that time? If you are long commodities or wish to go long them, you DO NOT want the US$ to break to the upside of this pattern!
