US Dollar: How Big is the Risk of a Triple Top?
By, Simon Maierhofer
Wednesday November 16, 2016
The strongest US dollar rally in well over a year propelled the greenback above 100 for the third time this year. The prior two attempts to take out 100 failed miserably. How big is the risk of a triple top?

For the third time in 2016, the US Dollar and US Dollar Index Futures are above 100, and the PowerShares DB Bullish US Dollar ETF (UUP) is near 26.

How big is the risk of a triple top?

The latest US Dollar rally is in harmony with the US Dollar projection (chart below) and US Dollar forecast published in the May 15, 2016 Profit Radar Report:

Based on Elliott Wave Theory, the strong rally from May 2014 – March 2015 looks like a wave 3. The trading range since then looks like a wave 4. Upon completion of wave 4, we anticipate a wave 5 rally to new highs. The rally to new highs may well be more choppy (at least initially) than projected.”

Barron's rates iSPYETF as "trader with a good track record" and Investor's Bussines Daily says "When Simon says, the market listens." Find out why Barron's and IBD endorse Simon Maierhofer's Profit Radar Report.

The US Dollar has now come within tics of new recovery highs.

There are various resistance levels at 100 – 101 along with a longer-term RSI divergence. Short-term, RSI confirmed the recent price high.

In terms of seasonality, late November/December is one of the most bearish times of the year.

As illustrated by the original projection, this rally is a fifth wave. This means that the end of this rally will be followed by a sizeable correction.

Although the US Dollar may have further up side, risk is rising.
