A currency-related curiosity for your consideration...
Don't ask me why, but whenever the relative performance of the U.S. Dollar Index versus the S&P 500 crossed above its 20-week exponential moving average these past few years (see red dots in the bottom panel), the market soon afterward came under pressure. What could this be in the face of attempts to sustain an unstable mountain of credit securities and assorted derivatives via hyperinflationary bailout? Dollar debasement fail? Something to keep an eye on.
