The Euro trades in an inverse posture versus the value of the U.S. dollar. By examining longer-term charts, one can determine that during the past few months as the commodity market prices have appreciated strongly, so has the value of the Euro currency against the greenback. The stronger Euro has also exerted a negative influence on the U.S. stock indexes in recent months.

"Not surprisingly, several commodity markets last week hit new all-time highs. Any significant breakdown in the value of the Euro currency will very likely also see abating buying interest in most raw commodity markets, and a likely strengthening of the U.S. stock indexes," said Jim Wyckoff analyst for www.TradingEducation.com.

Using VantagePoint Intermarket Analysis Software (www.TraderTech.com), one could have seen that on February 15 the up-trending Predicted 4-day EMA line produced a bullish crossover by moving above the Actual 10-day SMA Close line, suggesting the Euro would continue to trend higher in the near term. Also, VantagePoint’s Predicted Neural Index moved to 1.0, a bullish indicator, on February 11. Indeed, price action during mid-February did begin what has been the latest solid uptrend in the March Euro currency futures.

The Predicted Neural Index (PIndex), a proprietary indicator, predicts whether or not a three-day simple moving average of the typical price will be higher or lower two days in the future than it is today. The Predicted Neural Index compares two three-day moving averages to one another – today’s actual three-day moving average with a predicted three-day moving average derived from intermarket analysis data.

When the predicted simple three-day moving average value of typical prices is greater than today’s actual three-day moving average value, the Predicted Neural Index is "1.00," indicating that the market is expected to move higher over the next two days. That type of information can be very helpful in establishing short-term positions in forex and other markets ahead of moves such as Tuesday’s strong rise in the USDX.

The Predicted Neural Index is either correct or incorrect so its performance can be measured in terms of percent correct to produce the accuracy statistics cited for VantagePoint, which has a predictive accuracy rate of around 80% across a wide range of markets and time spans in ongoing research.
