The one day wonder that is the dollar faded again, although it didn’t pop the material or oil space. Yesterday the dollar was strong but materials showed great relative strength. Perhaps a disconnect has begun but I doubt it. There are so many great patterns that look like they want to break out, frankly I think it was just profit taking. Bernanke has done nothing (probably can’t) to instill any confidence in the dollar and Obama’s trip was more of a reach out than a dollar discussion.
Ive added one long for tonight (TSTC), I like the volume pattern and the ascending bullish channel, it’s probably not for the faint of heart but it could really run under the right circumstances. The stop is a bit wide, but otherwise you may run the risk of being shaken out. Adjust your stops accordingly, based on your own risk tolerance.
Have a great night and I will see you guys in the morning.
