USdollar is very close to breaking its bear pennant flag
I refer to the support line in this flag pause pattern clearly evident in July, August, September, and into Ocotober

http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.web?c=$usd,uu[h,a]daclyyay[dc][pb50!d20,2!f][vc60][iUb14!Uh15,....

check the line support connecting the following points:
(main price chart)
103.5 in mid-July
105.4 in early Sept
106.5 and 106.95 in early October

while a move below 105.5 would not mean a break below the critical July lows, it WOULD mean a nearterm breakdown in the pause pennant pattern
pause pennants allow a market to take some time, reflect, examine the fundamentals (all worsening), and then to resume after the oversold condition is resolved
the USdollar oversold condition is long gone

two other fine points to mention:
the Relative Strenk is weakening, now below midrange 50
no evident gain of strenk for the buck since July
that is in the top cycle chart

the Daily Stochastix is showing a Bearish Divergence
notice in mid-August and early-Sept the big black wavey line shows a downtrend pattern
from 85 top to 70 top, now turning down at 50
that identifies a Bearish Divergence, whereby the dollar is rising in a weak upward pennant, but the downtrend DStoch is a sign of weakness
now in early-Oct, we have the potential for that DStoch downtrend to have a third top to occur, as it is turning down now

I have personally seen dozens of such patterns
Bear Divergences and Bull Divergences are very reliable
when the nearterm support breaks, things start to unravel
we will see very soon
October is such a deadly month, as is September

GOLD will go nowhere unless/until USdollar breaks down
or until TrezBonds reverse toward higher rates
or BOTH, probably BOTH, since investors as so stupid
