Conceptually, no need to play this macro trade via GLD, to
Matt’s point, probably best not to unless you already trade it a
lot. Instead, at turning points in the dollar, the correlated
presumption is that rates are probably also making a short term top
and that equities, and especially rate sensitive equities like high
growth tech, are going to benefit. So...instead of GLD you go out
and take the Semi’s and the QQQs right after the open hand over
fist...(which is exactly what is happening today).

Just finished posting about how instead of trading GLD to take
advantage of the macro patterns in the dollar/rates/metals markets
I was describing, fast money could go out and snatch tech and semis
off the open....and ten minutes later John Murphy mails out the
following....(this is not stuff I make up off the top of my head.
Lol)
“
TECHS ARE HAVING A STRONG DAY... Technology stocks are the day's
strongest sector which is helping boost the Nasdaq market. As a
result, the Nasdaq is leading today's rally. Chart 1 show the
Invesco QQQ Trust trading 1.8% higher today and nearing a test of
its 50-day moving average. The QQQ may also be heading for a test
of a small "neckline" drawn over its March highs. A close above
that resistance line could push prices closer to their February
high.
Chart 2 shows the Technology SPDR (XLK) already trading above
its 50-day line and heading toward a test of its March highs. The
XLK is the day's strongest sector. Semiconductors are helping lead
the XLK higher. Chart 3 shows the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF
(SMH) trading at the highest level in a month. My Friday message
showed three chip leaders to be Applied Materials, Lam Research,
and KLA Corp. All three are having another strong day.”
Conceptually, no need to play
GLD filled yesterday gap
