Parameters in Equities, Oil
The 100-week moving averages in the S&P500 and US crude oil will act as the next resistance for risk appetite and USD-selling.
Even Prechter has same view on Dollar index and equities. Even if we dont take Elliot wave as reference, the positive Divergence can be seen clearly on Dollar Index daily chart(with MACD or even with Stoch). Personally I have short positions in DOW fut,crude and in oil, so this may be the reason for my tilt towards bear camp.
and as far Elliot wave is concern, its bit of a underestimation if one say that Elliot can be defined only after occurrence. Fibbo and wave can even be used for initiating a position and believe me, it works.

Nov and Dec have been weaker months in 2007 and 2008 in a bear market - 2005 and 2006 they were higher - as we were in a bull run.
Not really a fan of Elliot wave theory - too many experts have totally different opinions on where we are in the wave structure, which mostly becomes clear once it has occurred, practical application to trade profitably appears to be limited.
I think whoever can predict and take positions for when this inverse relationship between dollar and equities will end will make some good money.
lower gold
lower oil
lower stocks
higher dollar (index)
Elliot Wave Theory confirms perfect retracement levels for the dollar which means the dollar is set to soar in the coming quarters. as the dollar seems to correlate well with risk on an inverse basis
WATCH OUT
Dave, thanks.

Firstly can I thank you for the seminar you held in Dublin mid-sept which I found both hugely insightful and massively worrying as I realised how much i dont know about the financial markets! I'm less than six months into the trading business and I'm just trying to keep my expectations in check, be patient and keep improving.
Secondly, I would like to give my 2 cents on oil/dollar.
I am fearful that oil prices will not hold the $80 level for the rest of the year. I still think at a global level economic growth and activity will be weak at best and the rally in oil is less to do with appetite and more to do with traders selling the dollar before they have their morning coffee! I am very possibly wrong but I just want to start forming my own opinions and not being over reliant on backward looking news. I will keep an eye out to see if this is the case weither way.
Anyway Ashraf, thanks again
