In this episode, I start with the U.S. Dollar Index and show why I require at least three points of contact before I consider a trend line valid. I then break down the DXY's long-term structure, explain why repeated touches make a trend line meaningful, and demonstrate how parallel channels can provide an even stronger framework by defining both support and resistance. I also highlight a potential bear flag and explain why I think the dollar could eventually weaken and break below its roughly 15-year parallel channel.

I then move to silver and trace a major trend line connecting its historic peaks around 1980 and 2011 with its more recent price action. I explain how repeated resistance tests occurred increasingly quickly before silver finally broke through, illustrating the "bouncy ball" concept. That former resistance could now become powerful support, and I believe it could ultimately provide a springboard toward higher silver prices in the coming years. Finally, I examine physical uranium through SRUUF and show how its rising trend line has repeatedly provided support despite a temporary breakdown.
