I spent this weekend looking at stock and gold/silver charts, and kept the action of the dollar in mind as well. My analysis concluded the following:
1) The stock indices are nearing a top, and may have rolled over Friday and formed that top. This is important for the carry trade and the JPY pairs I'm very bearish on, i.e. bearish USD/JPY.
2) Gold and silver are oversold in the short term, and the dollar's strength translated into gold/silver strength as well on Friday which is unusual. This tells me we may see a bounce in the metals, but they won't come close their highs on the year. If the metals do bounce, it may be a clue that the dollar is about to fall.
3) I just can't count a bullish structure for the dollar, namely the USD/CHF and USD/JPY, so I must stick with the view that the dollar has to make a new low. I can count an ending diagonal and reversal in the EUR/USD, but on my next post I show a bullish count that would coincide with the USD/CHF and USD/JPY bearish counts.
4) It seems like a sure thing, a done deal, and common knowledge by everyone in the general public that the dollar has bottomed and it's now the easiest trade of the year to be bullish the dollar! Obviously, that type of thinking is usually wrong, and the general public is usually shocked when their easy gold mine of a trade turns into a huge catastrophic loss, even though CNBC told them the dollar had bottomed with certainty. Time to be a contrarian
Below is my 8hr chart of the USD/CHF. It shows an ABC correction from the low on the year coming to an end with a terminal thrust from a triangle. Also notice the bearish divergence (orange lines) on price and the stochastic for the proposed 5th wave, which is very typical for 5th waves.
Even if it doesn't mark a major top and reversal to a new low, the five wave rally that just unfolded calls for a correction soon that should bring prices lower. The structure and depth of the decline should give us a clue as to whether it's on its way to a new low. At this point, the rallly is getting quite stretched for a correction, so if it's going to make a new low, it needs to do it soon.
Also, just as the Bear Stearns news marked an extreme of bad news for the bearish market which marked a bottom, I think the recent "good news" of better than expected data (if you believe the numbers you're given) marks a top, especially the GDP and employment numbers last week. I'm looking for severely lower levels in the stock indices and the dollar soon, possibly this upcoming week.

Although I don't like the look of this count, I had to make a count that supports USD/CHF and USD/JPY declines that the EUR/USD can handle. The support found last week at the wave A extreme (red line), could make it a possible flat correction. The support found at that level did raise a red flag with me when I saw it this weekend, and everyone is jumping on the bearish-EUR/USD-bandwagon so seeing as that I'm a contrarian to the masses, I do look for another view. The EUR/USD has been beaten so bad lately, with little significant bounces, I think at least a short term bullish bias is warranted. However I'm sticking to the overall bearish dollar view, which would have the EUR/USD rally big to a new high.
Although it's not pretty, it is posisble, and it does support my overall bearish dollar view.
