Currency Markets: The Next Crisis Has Begun

    We would like to share with you today very interesting observations from the currency markets by Toby Connor. Recent volatility in the currency market was exceptional, particularly, when you consider that equity market was moving almost always in one direction - Up. Equity market volatility is at the record low and it looks like the real action now is in the US Dollar camp. Gold will follow this development fuelled by physical shortage as well.  This concept of "Megaphone Top" in US Dollar is very interesting and we have seen its brutal Bearish resolution in 2008 in equity markets before.Rick Rule On Gold & Resources: "The Stage Is Set For An Absolutely Dramatic Recovery" TNR.v, MUX"To make this dramatic and pleasant for Survivors picture come true we need just one thing - Pros with the money coming into the market, without them it will always be only the wishful thinking. We can see them coming now."Kitco:Currency Markets: The Next Crisis Has BegunToday the dollar broke through 80.40. This is a major development as it signals that the current daily cycle topped in only 2 days, thus confirming that the intermediate cycle has also topped.I've been warning for months and months that this was coming. Anyone with a modicum of common sense knew that printing trillions of dollars was going to eventually have consequences. There is no escaping the inevitable; if you aggressively debase your currency eventually you are going to have a currency crisis. The first one has now begun.Over the next 3-4 months the dollar is going to test the lower trend line of the megaphone topping pattern and ultimately break through. When it does we are going to witness a spectacular collapse in the dollar, probably testing the 2011 bottom by the next intermediate cycle low due in November.This is going to cause all kinds of problems. We are already seeing the bond market breaking free of Fed manipulation. This will only get worse as bonds recognize the severity of the crisis ahead. Ironically the Fed is going to print harder and faster to try and tame the bond market. It will have the reverse effect. It will just accelerate the dollar collapse which, in turn, will intensify the selling in bonds.This has already pricked the echo bubble in housing. In the chart below we see the same megaphone topping pattern in play as in the dollar index.Smart money has known for months this was coming. I strongly suspect the manipulation in gold over the last 8 months was done to transfer physical metal from weak hands into strong hands in preparation for this event. Now it's time for gold to do its job of protecting wealth during a currency crisis. I told subscribers last night that we will see a war over the next several days and weeks as gold breaks free of the manipulation and gets busy discounting the coming currency crisis.The intervention is going to try hard to keep gold prices down, but ultimately gold is going to win and break free of the artificially low prices. Ultimately gold is going to protect wealth during an inflationary period of time, just as it always does. And ultimately all the manipulation will succeed in doing is to cause price to rise much further and faster than would have occurred if gold had been allowed to trade freely.Batten down the hatches - the next Fed created catastrophe has already begun.By Toby ConnorGoldScentswww.goldscents.blogspot.com"Enhanced by Zemanta
