US Dollar: British Pound Leading Indicator

As of August 29, 2023 futures traders accumulated an extremely large number of positions in the British Pound that are similar to what they accumulated in July 2014. Using this data as a leading indicator the end result of this accumulation is an expectation of a sharp decline in the British Pound, along with a corresponding sharp rise in the U.S. Dollar in 2023 and 2024. Using the 2014 U.S. Dollar structure, a move up to 150 over the next 12 months would be in line with related Fibonacci calculations. This will have a significant deflationary impact on major currencies and commodities in 2023 and 2024.

Interest Rates/Dollar: Velocity of Money

It was recently noted that the velocity of money and money supply have not been this low since 1932 when Great Depression unemployment was 23%, GDP growth was -13% and the annual inflation rate was -11% along with 1700 banks failing. The current situation appears to be much different according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showing an unemployment rate of 3.7%, inflation rate of 5.3% as of May 2023, along with three bank failures in the first half of 2023, including First Republic Bank, Signature Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank.

A review of Federal Funds Effective Rate hikes since 2009 shows the current economic situation will change dramatically over the next three years based on the +4.86% change in the Fed Funds rate since March 2022. The Velocity of M2 Money Stock is expected to continue its decline, as it did between Q3 2006 and Q3 2009. This will include a prolonged decline in the Dow, S&P500 and NASDAQ along with a recession at best between 2023 and 2026.

January 1999 (4.63%) to July 2000 (6.54%) = +1.91%
June 2004(1.03%) to August 2006 (5.25%) = +4.22 %
December 2015 (0.24%) to April 2019 (2.42) = +2.18%
March 2022 (0.20) to May 2023 (5.06) = +4.86%

Bitcoin/Dollar: The Future of Money

The Future of Money
Eswar Prasad, WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, June 2023

Go to the 32:30 mark:
“You can have programmability. Units of Central Bank Digital Currency with expiry dates. You could have, as I argue in my book a potentially better than some people might see, or a darker world where a Government decides that units of Central Bank money can be used to purchase some things, but not other things that are deemed less desirable….”

Bitcoin/Dollar: Banks Accumulation of Bitcoin

On June 28, 2023 daily calculations indicated the US Dollar is expected to turn and trend higher. When the Dollar moves higher bitcoin will move lower, as shown in the chart below. During this move the Engrbytrade™ bitcoin model indicates bitcoin will move below 10,000. This will allow major banks to accumulate bitcoin and use it as a bank reserve for future central bank requirements. Upon completion of the banks accumulation of bitcoin at lower levels, bitcoin is then expected to move well above its November 2021 high in the coming years, just as the Euro moved from 0.56 in February 1985 to 1.40 in September 1992.

S&P500/Dollar: Long Term Upward Trend

Engrbytrade™ intermarket futures trading data calculations show the S&P500 is expected to see its long term upward trend continue into 2023.

A detailed review was conducted with S&P500 futures trading data to identify specific time frames when a change of direction occurred based on its relative value to the US Dollar. The result of this review revealed a consistent large scale pattern since 2006 where several points were identified as a validation of upward movement. There were only two points (1/30/07 and 4/3/21) that occurred several months before the S&P500 started to move lower. Since the low in October 2022, upward movement was once again validated on 4/4/23.

Within this 2006 to 2023 time frame of large scale pattern validation points are numerous periods of volatility, such as short term declines noted below. Prospective declines should be monitored with the appropriate data and calculations. The average decline within the follow group is 16.14%.  Expectations for a decline in the coming weeks still exist, as noted on June 20, 2023.

15% decline between April 26, 2010 and July 2, 2010
16% decline between July 25, 2011 and August 8, 2011
10% decline between August 18, 2015 and August 25, 2015
11% decline between December 30, 2015 and February 11, 2016
9% decline between January 29, 2018 and February 8, 2018
19% decline between October 3, 2018 and December 24, 2018
33% decline between February 19, 2020 and March 23, 2020 (Outlier)

Dollar/Gold/Silver: Predetermined Course

On October 9, 2022, it was noted that the US Dollar had an upper trend line angle of 26.26 degrees above the x-axis and was similar to what was developed between 1991 and 2001. The chart below shows the US Dollar hit a high of 114.75 on September 28, 2022 with an upper trend line angle of 24.19°. This indicates a predetermined course was developed after 2008 using an upper trend line angle of 25.225° (+/-1.035°). Current intermarket futures trading data calculations show the US Dollar is expected to move higher, repeating a move upward similar to what occurred during the first half of 2001. As the US Dollar moves toward the upper trend line, a decline in value is expected for the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Copper, Euro, Natural Gas, Heating Oil, and Platinum.

During the Dollar’s initial rise in 2001, the Dow moved up into mid-February 2001 and then had a sharp decline going into the end of March 2001. Preliminary data indicates the Dow is expected to conduct a move similar to this during the first quarter of 2023.

Long term intermarket futures trading data calculations also indicate gold and silver are expected to develop a predetermined inverse chart structure of the US Dollar that is similar to the time frame between January 2001 and March 2008, as shown in the charts below.
