View Full Version : The US Dollar is in MAJOR Trouble

Earlier today I wrote a piece forecasting the end of the Euro. At that time, I speculated that the Euro would be broken up within the next year.

Then I looked at the US Dollar’s chart.
I've said before that the US Dollar was in BIG trouble... but as of tonight, it's on DEFCON 1 RED ALERT TROUBLE.
As the below chart shows, the greenback needs to rally and rally hard if we’re not going to head into a SERIOUS collapse shortly.

What you're looking at is the US Dollar right on its multi-year trendline. If we take this out now, then we are heading into an inflationary death spiral in very short order.



Indeed, once we take out this line, we're just a few ticks away from triggering the MASSIVE Head and Shoulders pattern the greenback has formed over the last 20 years.

In case you're wondering, this pattern has an ultimate target of 40... a full 50% lower than where the US Dollar is today.



We're talking about hyper-inflation on an order that would make Weimar Germany proud. And if we break the green line above, we're THAT much closer to this becoming a reality.



In plain terms, the end game is fast approaching if not already here. I've long thought the US Dollar had one last rally in it, but looking at the charts tonight I could very likely be wrong.



Indeed, inflation is already exploding worldwide, which means paper money in general is going to be worth less and less on its way to worthless.



If you think the US is immune to this situation, you're in for a very RUDE surprise in the coming months. Indeed, the Fed’s Hoenic just announced there might even be QE 3… and he’s supposed to be one of the Fed HAWKS!



The writing on the wall is clear: the Fed will stop at nothing to destroy the US Dollar in order to prop up the Big Banks. The 308 million of us who don’t work on Wall Street are all going to be thrown under the bus. Don’t let it happen. Take steps now to prepare yourself for what’s to come.



Good Investing!

Whether it has a rally or two left remains to be seen. Besides the massive H&S, to me it looks like a pennant consolidation from about 04 which should resolve in the same direction it started....down. Matter of time.

Let me ask what you think will happen to the dollar when Israel uses the first nuke on people in the Middle East (appx. 5 months or less)?
If the whole Middle East erupts with fury and possibly Europe with it, which currency will the world run to initially?

Wrongo!
The global markets will have to liquidate into dollars first, then the explosion in gold we all know that is coming.
Under this very real scenario, I see an extremely strong dollar while liquidation of all equities commences.

I swear to you that I just don't get it, for a long time now I knew what what will and what is happening and if dumb guy like myself without a PhD or an XYZ knew it then why not those with the education to see it?.......I feel angry and hurt that even if I saw it ahead of time I was unable to do anything about it but for preparing myself and raising hell with you guys............. here and there I have been picking hints of what the government is doing to protect THEMSELVES from what is coming but without caring about "We The People", their way of thinking is that as long as there is a government there is a country without thinking that in order to have a country you must have the people.............is going to be bad, very, very, bad.... so do all that you can to get ready on your own, your mental state is your main weapon before you even pick up a physical weapon, if you have no place to bug out to then make the needed plans to bunker down right where you are at.......anyway.

First post of the day................good morning to one and all.
