Crude



Watch crude carefully this week if we trade lower into wednesday time frame I would be a buyer- Level lower looks like 74 but I would be a buyer there. I don't think the push on the upside is over

US Dollar




he greenback had a huge spike higher Tuesday, before spending the rest of the week retracing the move off the 75.085 L.
It appears that early morning spike was a "thrust" out of a (iv)th wave triangle. If correct, the 77.50 H completed a 5 wave structure that would be labeled minute [i].
The ensuing retracement would be the wave [ii] retracement. It is unclear if [ii] has finished or not. It has retraced 78.6% thus far, a perfect wave retracement in my opinion.
Notice that RSI has failed to breakout of the 50% level once again. This has become the rock of Gibraltar.
Also notice that price could not successfully close the 50 sma.
Both of these appear to be setup to give way when we get our next 5 waves up.
The 75.085 L is a critical level for this assessment. Should we trade through that price, we obviously have something wrong.

Bonds- 30 YR




The 30 Yr failed its retest of the 50 sma, which resulted in nice downside price action for the week.
The 50% retracement level of the move off the 111-23 L, which I have labeled (X)?, supported price again. I believe this level gives way rather soon.
Equality comes in at 114-16. The minimum downside objective is 116-26.
My guess is that price wants to test the 114-26 pivot. The 78.6% retracement level is in the same area.
The bigger picture still remains unclear to me. If the 30 YR did put in an intermediate (X) wave at the 123-25 H, this would mean there is another (A)(B)(C) that should play out to the downside.
Bottom line - I still expect to see another 5 waves down of minor degree, at minimum. We will reassess at that point.
