Take Me to the Live Show |
Hey, it's Garrett. |
There's something brewing in the dollar, and barely anyone's talking about it. |
No, this isn't another collapse prediction. I'm not one of those people shouting about the end of the U.S. dollar every time someone in BRICS floats an oil deal. |
This is something different. |
It's technical, it's behavioral, and it's happening quietly under the surface. |
Let's walk through it. |
Right now, the Invesco DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP), which tracks the dollar against a basket of major foreign currencies, just broke beneath key support. It's been drifting lower for months, and now the cracks are starting to widen. |
|
We're seeing softness in long-end Treasury yields. Inflation expectations are cooling. And international central banks, from Europe to Asia, are slowly shifting out of tightening mode. |
Put all that together, and the dollar has less support under it than it did six months ago. |
At the same time, open interest in dollar futures has been climbing. That suggests traders are pressing bets on a strong dollar, and if they're wrong, they'll have to unwind fast. |
This is where UDN comes in. |
The Invesco DB U.S. Dollar Index Bearish Fund (UDN) is the inverse of UUP. It's a quiet ETF. Not very liquid. But it's a great signal. |
|
When UDN starts climbing above its 20- and 50-day moving averages, it's been a reliable trigger for downside pressure in the dollar. And not just for a day. These moves tend to stretch over multiple weeks as capital rotates. |
We're starting to see that breakout now. |
UDN has pushed back above its 20-day average, and the setup is gaining traction. |
Why does this matter? |
Because when the dollar weakens, a lot of things start working better. |
Commodities tend to rise, including oil, copper, gold, and uranium. International equities (especially in emerging markets) get a tailwind. Multinationals with foreign earnings (think: Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Apple) tend to outperform. Even crypto often catches a bid as dollar dominance slips.
|
And if you're a trader, or even just an investor looking for entries, spotting the moment when the dollar starts to lose strength gives you a massive edge. |
This is how real money moves. Not on headlines. But on macro pivots, liquidity flows, and pressure setups that build for weeks before the market catches on. |
That's what we're tracking with UUP and UDN. |
Now let me show you how this same pressure model works at the trade level. |
Tony Rago has been using this exact concept, watching for pressure, measuring compression, and timing the release, to build out a futures trading strategy with explosive upside and tight, repeatable structure. |
He calls the base version the Golden Setup, and today at 1 p.m. Eastern, he's teaching how to 10X it. |
That means pairing his best signals with options, building in asymmetric reward-to-risk, and taking advantage of misunderstood volatility. |
This is the same logic we're applying to the dollar trade, but in a much faster, more surgical environment. |
If you're the kind of person who likes structure, rules, and edge, you'll get a ton out of this. |
If you've never traded futures or don't think you can do this, you need to see how he's simplified it. |
And if you want to see how the best setups come from the moments when nobody's paying attention, today's the day. |
