(b) This is a “futures” chart. The model I get with the futures is similar to what we see with the cash chart, but a little
different. There’s still no way to count out the overall move lower as an “impulse” of any kind, but on the futures it’s
easier to make a case for a concluded corrective move at the early Feb lows of 1040.75. After the close the market
found good selling interest at the 61.8% retracement--funny that the Federal Reserve announces a rate hike at the
EXACT 61.8% retrace. When I count the waves up from the 1040.75, it has the look of a (b)-wave triangle that was
(a) followed by a strong impulsive (c)-wave. This impulse “may” be complete, but when I examine the waves, it looks
like we could be in a micro wave [4], which calls for one more little wave [5] to fully TEST all the 61.8% sellers…..

I like the DXY longer term, and it still has not showed any real signs of peaking action,
(A) but it’s now getting closer to some longer resistance objectives that were identified when
the move began at 74.33. The 61.8% of “b”=“d” target is 81.70 while the 50% retrace of
the last big drop is at 81.90. This will likely be a tough “nut to crack,” especially with the
high levels of short interest in the Euro, Pound, and Swiss Franc.

I’ve shied away from charting the 10 year or 30 year notes/bonds lately because I don’t have a good
way of charting the interest rates (on a continuation chart). I can only chart the futures instruments
and wave-counting maturing debt derivatives is probably impossible. I’m pointing out this chart this
morning because the head and shoulder topping pattern is too obvious to ignore…..
