You might be right, but it all sounds too complicated to me. Longer term, or main direction, my guess is TPTB have the US Dollar too high for too long, versus the other currencies, and they’ll probably abruptly drop it back down.
In my opinion they manually adjusted Dopey/Dollar straight up in six months, 80 to 100 during 2014, that’s a long time ago. Add to that Gold has been climbing along with a strong 100 Dollar. They must feel screwed. They KNOW they have to push the Dollar lower to help the USA, but I’m sure they don’t want Gold higher, they are boxed in.
When the dollar was at 120, in ’01 Gold was $250/oz, Silver I think $4, copper .46 cents, heating oil .42 cents etc etc.
The Dollar was at 75 in 2012 with Gold at $1800, Look for yourself. As far as I’m concerned 9/11/01 was a huge sucker punch, throwing their whole system since 1945 “off stride”. That 2008 crash was actually a manually delayed crash that was supposed to happen after 9/11.
