King Dollar

Dollar’s relentless rise to 20+ yr high (secondary peaks 2001-02; peak 1995) is now becoming a global problem. Dollar ETF UUP is attracting huge inflows. Dollar may be the single most factor (besides several other factors) contributing to the declines in currencies, commodities (energy, ag, metals, gold, silver), stocks (US, foreign, EMs), bonds (investment-grade, HY, foreign). Its daily % moves (ROC(1)) are simply amazing for global reserve currency. At $114+ today, 9/26/22, dollar was 3*SD above its 50-dMA, also very unusual. The StockCharts link below shows $USD (EOD; updates few hours after the market close) with 50-dMA & 200-dMA, Bollinger Bands BB(20.2)* – one can see it far above the upper-BB, Bollinger Band Width BBW (20,2) - high, RSI (14) - high. Yahoo has live chart for DX-Y.NYB but it isn’t linkable and screenshot isn’t the same thing.
* 20-dMA & 20-dSD. BBW is 4*20-dSD as % of 20-dMA.
