When one goes up, the other goes down. Here&#8217;s a chart which shows that other than early Dec, they&#8217;ve moved opposite each other. Yesterday the dollar rallied big time. It&#8217;s something to keep in the back of your mind.<\/span><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/leavittbrothers.com\/blog\/i\/usdspx032510.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As the market moves up, I&#8217;m running out of things to talk about. The market keeps going and going&#8230;it won&#8217;t drop&#8230;it won&#8217;t pullback&#8230;it barely rests&#8230;it has started to ignore warning signs. I&#8217;m not complaining because my bias has remained on the long side the entire time, but I certainly wouldn&#8217;t mind a pullback that lets the charts reset for a subsequent leg up. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">From my perspective, we need to keep doing what we&#8217;re doing. Play the long side, but don&#8217;t get lazy. And don&#8217;t guess when the run will come to an end. How much have the bears lost trying to guess a top?
