A strengthening dollar is NOT good for the commodities industry & UUP was predictive from 2018 into the crash of commodities prices.
And in 2020 UUP marked the bottom for commodities with as the Covid crisis came underway.
As we're approaching the new quarter & month $UUP is attempting to put in a bullish hammer that would proceed in the direction of the yearly: the failed 2 going 3
Potentially signaling a mid-term top in commodities or at least a large part of the 'basket'.
When looking into the commodities, $CL_F has been a very solid bullish bet which has been obviously shown by the large inflows over the past year.
Even while being apart of the 'commodities basket'.
I still have a bullish stance on oil due to the fact SUPPLY will lag DEMAND..
You'll also notice $NG_F (natural gas) is coming off of FRESH All time lows.
You'll notice a 2-2 reversal on the yearly signifying that the bottom is likely in for time to come as well as a 'wedge' pattern that has formed on the quarterly.
The reason the fresh ATLs are important is because we know the #BroadeningFormation phenomenon OCCURS. And fresh ATLs means we were at the bottom of the "all time" BF which gives me a bullish stance on $NG_F going into the future. $BHP $AR are strong NG stocks
@PeterSchiff 's favorite : $GC_F (GOLD)
Gold is putting in a RED inside year, aka : Doin' Nothin'
To compliment that we're doing the EXACT opposite of $UUP (as expected) which is a shooter quarter. This only compliments the strengthening dollar hypothesis.
$PA_F (Palladium) does not look as if it wants to sustain it's multi-year move into new ATHs, putting in a shooter candle on the quarter; another compliment my view of a strengthening dollar.
You're going to notice the same types of bearish / sideways charts nearly across the board when looking at commodities including wheat, oats & more. Some weaker than others ( $ZS_F ). But overall pointing to a strengthening dollar and a 'mean reversion'
Don't get too cozy too fast though, if these commodities were to take out the previous Quarter lows and then come BACK ABOVE their respective openings we may have to prepare for the next leg of the rally.

WTF are those numbers on your charts @AlexsOptions ? Why are you saying that's the bottom?
What's a rev strat? 2-2 reversal? Looks like candles to me...
Pffft broadening formations? I want what you're smoking.
Any of my followers with those thoughts just read... #TheStrat
What is TheStrat? It's @RobInTheBlack 's strategy he's developed over many years that uses 3 fundamental truths in price action. These are important because price CANNOT trade outside of the rules we're going to talk about meaning we know EXACTLY what is happening.
3 Types of Candles (The funky numbers)
From 1 bar to the next only 3 things can happen (named as listed)
1: Inside bar
2: Break of previous high or low
3: Break of previous high AND low
This is important because knowing there's a finite amount of candles means...
