With the dollar having a drop the past couple days, I think that is significant for how the other assets will react. I kind of think of the movement of the different things fractally. So like you can have the dollar trending down and have a quad 3 quarter with little spikes in the dollar and maybe you can call it a quad 4 week or day? I don't really care as much about the titles as much as the movement and velocity of the actual indicators moving. So the whole % of which quad we are in seems a little relative to me. There are confirming and disconfirming indicators. LIke today the dollar was down, most of the commodities were up but oil was down. Oil is a major indicator for what is happening but its saying something different. So what is the answer? In my mind you gotta make a decision under uncertainty when you have contradictory details. Plus, a lot of times if you set up the trade right then it doesn't matter if one of the indicators is saying the opposite.
