    This one is important, the USD against all other currencies (important ones).    Double back test of the broken channel line after a huge upswing whilst US overspends more than a drunken sailor with someone else's credit cards in hand.

    nice charts stevo.  Yes the US is like a drunken sailor, the only thing that might save us is that all the other countries are also drunken sailors - all these countries are awash in debt. 

    if the US was in a vacuum and it was only us then we'd be in real trouble of going the way of Zimbabwe and other countries like that.

    with the sheer amount of world wide debt (heck China's real estate problem is something like 70 trillion on its  own), all these countries have crazy debt problems and spend too much

    one of these days I could see all the major countries getting together in like a Bretton Woods 3, and either monetizing or canceling a bunch of debt, and creating a new world currency that is maybe a basket of the major countries - and of course probably and end to cash too, digital currency

    I searched the BPT website for Luke Gromen and I don't see his name mentioned before.  I have been following Luke Gromen for years (very savvy guy) and I can say that his ideas on dollar hegemony, US deficits, etc. have long pre dated those of Druckenmiller, Zoltan, Tudor Jones, etc. (the people we have recently seen in the media now making these ideas more popular).  He recently did a RealVision interview (link pasted here) in which he talked about the Net International Investment Position of the USA and how it specifically affects the USA dollar in a way that it has not historically (compared to other fiat currencies) and how the "cleanest dirty shirt" argument NO longer works when looking at the dollar compared to other fiat currencies.  It is at 0:56:28 of the interview.

    A global currency doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

    Could you imagine crude OIL based in the  Iranian currency which is so fragile and illiquid?
