The Dollar Index pulled back hard on Friday, half-correcting the steep upthrust from two days earlier. Given how the uptrend impaled the midpoint Hidden Pivot (p=107.36), there is little room for doubt about whether D=109.30 will be reached. As noted earlier, that would keep weight on gold. It would also set up a potential ‘mechanical’ buying opportunity at p=107.36.  We don’t often do this trade at p, but the trend is so strong that waiting for a relapse to the green line (x=106.39) might leave us empty-handed when the turn comes.
