The Situation

​

​​​​In these range trading times (good to know that​​ the 
​Fear and Greed Index ​from CNN Money is coming from the 
​Greed Zone three weeks ago to the ​Neutral Level now at 47). It is 
​interesting to look the behavior ​of the US Dollar Index ​​(USD-DXY) ​
​and the SP500 Index.

The US Dollar Index broke on October 10 2016 the Major Tesistance
that started back since December 2 2015​. (See first chart below - TopBlue Trendline)  But most importantly,
broke a day later the Reistance of an Uptrend Channel.  (See first chart below): Since then, we are evolving within a steep Uptrend Channel and reached on October 25 2016 on the DXY Index a level last seen in February 2016!
​
For the SP500 index, it started a Bullish Trend from the post-Brexit panic on June 27 2016 to make a Breakout on July 8 2016 (from a Major Resistance Trendline that started back on May 20 2015)​ and peaked on August 23 to consolidate thereafter. ​(See second chart below - Bottom Panel - Thick Grey Trendline - Ellipse) 

​​​​​​As shown by the second chart below, the economic impact of a strong US Dollar on US exports on a macro scale is quite direct. A strong US Dollar is having a negative effect on the US exports, already in negative territory on a year over year basis in percentage. ​(See second chart below - Middle Panel - Blue Area)
​Another consequence of a strong US Dollar is to bring inflation pressure down...
​​
But very few of us realize that for a foreigner looking at the SP500 Index on a Macro Basis (so in US Dollar Index - DXY times the SP500 Index) we did finally reach on October 25 2016 a new high ever (prior highest ever was July 22 2016) and at the resistance trendline that started back in March 2015. As domestic investors had their breakout on July 8 (SP500 Index), foreigners are near making one on their own standard major breakout (SP500 times DXY Index)...   ​(See Third Chart Below - Top Blue Trendline - Ellipse)

Foreigners will dictate the trend for the SP500 in the next few trading sessions, especially with month end quite near...
