Technical analyst Clive Maunds discusses the outlook for the dollar, euro and precious metals sector after the predicted major dollar breakout occurs.<\/p>\n

Yesterday saw one of our most important predictions become reality\u0097the dollar broke decisively out of its Head-and-Shoulders bottom. We can
\nclearly see this breakout on the latest 6-month chart for the U.S. dollar
\nindex shown below. Fundamental reasons for this are believed to include
\nthe current (weak) trend to higher rates in the U.S., and perhaps more
\nimportantly, the euro starting to unravel if Catalonia succeeds in its
\npush for independence from Spain. Whatever, this chart says the dollar
\nindex is going to advance to our target in the 97 area.<\/p>\n

<\/center>The importance and validity of this breakout is emphasized by dollar
\nproxy UUP also breaking out yesterday on the highest upside volume for
\nmany months.<\/p>\n

<\/center>A big component of the dollar index is the euro, and not surprisingly
\nthe euro broke down from a Head-and-Shoulders top yesterday that is the
\ninverse of the Head-and-Shoulders bottom in the dollar. The European
\nUnion is threatening to fall apart, and if Catalonia succeeds in
\nbreaking away from Spain, it is likely to close the lid on the euro’s
\ncoffin.<\/p>\n

<\/center>While gold and silver valiantly struggled to hold up yesterday, the same
\ncannot be said of precious metal stocks, and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF,
\nGDX, dropped away quite hard, so we can expect gold and silver to follow
\nsuit as the dollar rallies.<\/p>\n

<\/center>Finally the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index shows that there is still
\nquite a bit of bullishness waiting to be wrung out of the sector. Those
\nlong PM stocks should hedge their positions and the most cost effective
\nway to do this is via Puts in something like GLD, which have good
\nliquidity. With inverse ETFs you can be swindled out of your due gains
\nas they often do not perform as they should. GLD November or December
\n118 or 119 Puts will serve the purpose. Or if you are nimble you can
\nsimply step aside and buy back cheaper when the dollar rally has run its
\ncourse.<\/p>\n
