I then break down the DXY's long-term structure, explain why repeated touches make a trend line meaningful, and demonstrate how parallel channels can provide an even stronger framework by defining both support and resistance. I also highlight a potential bear flag and explain why I think the dollar could eventually weaken and break below its roughly 15-year parallel channel. I then move to silver and trace a major trend line connecting its historic peaks around 1980 and 2011 with its more recent price action. I explain how repeated resistance tests occurred increasingly quickly before silver finally broke through, illustrating the "bouncy ball" concept. That former resistance could now become powerful support, and I believe it could ultimately provide a springboard toward higher silver prices in the coming years. Finally, I examine physical uranium through SRUUF and show how its rising trend line has repeatedly provided support despite a temporary breakdown. Key Insights In This Episode ✅ I require at least three points of contact before I consider a trend line technically valid. ✅ I view parallel channels as stronger tools because they simultaneously establish support and resistance. ✅ I see a bear flag in the DXY and believe the dollar could eventually break below its 15 year channel. ✅ Silver repeatedly tested decades old resistance before finally breaking through the long term trend line. ✅ I believe silver's former resistance could become major support and a springboard toward higher prices. ✅ SRUUF shows how uranium can temporarily break a trend line before reclaiming it and restoring support.
