Commodity Bull Market Cycle Starts with Euro and Dollar Trend Changes
In this report, I would like to show you how currency values play an important role in the price of commodities like gold and silver. The analysis here is all about the EUR/USD currency pair to give you an idea of how they can help time and predict future price movement in metals. This is just one commodity pair out of several which provide similar insight and the more pairs that confirm, the stronger our signal and market timing will be.
Commodity bull eras do not need a strong Euro… but it definitely helps if the US Dollar weakens, as anything denominated in it like gold, silver, and oil will have a higher nominal value.
There are a few interesting points to look at in the EUR/USD chart presented below. You will have keep scrolling down to look at the chart to see a visual of each technical analysis point I am sharing with you. The first thing you may notice is that the 16-year cycles for this forex currency pair are pretty harmonious. Usually, a single cycle like the one shown on this chart does not fit or overlay on an instrument this well because there are almost always more than one cycle at work skewing things, however, the cycle in this chart just happen to be very clean.
When you know which cycle is the strongest of them all, it adds value to the probability of where and when the next major turning point will be for that asset. In this currency pair, the 16-year cycle is the strongest. In fact, I spoke with Rick Rule a few weeks ago and we touched on these longer-term commodity cycles and what we both feel is unfolding now in the markets. He had some very interesting analysis and he blew my mind when he explained how Sprott gold miners ETFs are constructed. If you don’t know what I am talking about this is a MUST WATCH!
Ok, back to the chart below! Currently, the EUR/USD is breaking out to the upside on the quarterly linear chart, but not yet on the logarithmic chart. This is giving us signals that a paradigm shift is in progress. A new cycle where the US Dollar will weaken vs Euro. Those looking at DXY for the US Dollar proxy will notice Euro is a big part of that index.
When looking at a resistance trend line based on quarterly closes, we understand that any points on that line will offer substantial resistance when hit. When price reaches the level, we call it a ‘measured move’, and price could reverse lower once hit.
Another good indicator to get more clues on the strength or weakness of actual price action is the CCI (Commodity Channel Index). This is the indicator located at the bottom of the chart. You can chart this indicator as you would the actual price action with trendlines. A major, multi-decade, paradigm shift pivot line can be drawn. Since we are below it, that is now our “pivot line defined target”.
Further, the high-water marks for the CCI where the EURUSD pair put in a significant top (red horizontal line). That is another target where we can estimate probabilities of setting in an important top.
One more piece of the puzzle is the current supporting white trend line which has already been tested 3 times. We now have a trend angle of ascent defined by this indicator and its analysis.
All three of those elements converge to an “energy point”. We now have a target in price AND in time, Win-Win! Target is 1.86 (which can overshoot on smaller time-frames) for early 2027.
When you add this to other currency cycle charts and the gold chart, as an example, the evidence keeps piling up. We are in an embryonic commodity bull era unfolding before our eyes. There will be noise on smaller time frames, but the higher time frames (monthly and higher) bear the most weight for the determination of a trend.
