Is the 'Short USD' Trade Too Crowded? What History Says Happens Next

Everyone seems convinced the dollar is done.

But here's the thing — when everyone piles into the same trade, it's usually time to start looking the other way. Right now, the “short USD” trade is packed tighter than a rush-hour subway. 

And if history is any guide, this setup could be flashing a major reversal warning.

Let’s take a step back. The U.S. dollar typically trades in sync with the 10-year Treasury yield. But lately, that’s broken down. The 10-year is holding firm, even pushing higher, while the dollar has rolled over hard. 

That kind of divergence doesn’t last forever — and when it resolves, it usually happens fast.

You want a clean, simple way to play a potential bounce in the dollar? Look at UUP. It’s the Invesco ETF that tracks the U.S. Dollar Index. No, it’s not a massive mover, and no, it doesn’t look exactly like DXY — but if the dollar does rip higher, UUP is probably going to catch a bid — it was up 0.9% late Wednesday after I covered this in the morning.

Or if you prefer to take shots at the currency pairs themselves, look at ETFs like FXE (euro), FXY (yen), FXB (pound), FXF (franc), FXA (Aussie) and FXC (loonie). 

These all had huge runs against the dollar — and every time that’s happened in the past, we’ve seen sharp, sometimes violent reversals.

Not saying you need to load up on any of these. In fact, I’m not personally jumping into this trade just yet. But I am watching it. Closely.

Because here’s what’s likely: either the 10-year yield pukes — or the dollar pops. And if both break in the same direction, things could get wild fast.

If you’re wondering why this matters, think about where gold and equities priced in dollars have been heading lately — straight up. That’s partly due to the weak dollar. But if the dollar suddenly snaps back, those trades could unwind just as quickly.

So the real question is: Are you positioned for a dollar surprise?

Because the crowd sure isn’t. And that’s where the edge is.

How the Daily Chart Setup Works

Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:

1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market Roadmap line. 

2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this could take days, weeks or even months. 

3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that signals an entry. 

I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years!
