The stock market has offered plenty of excitement recently, but there are other popular asset classes ripe for a reversal and subsequent pop or drop.
U.S. dollar
The U.S. dollar is above 100 for the third time in 2016. The prior two times led to nasty reversals. How big is the risk for a U.S. dollar triple top?

The risk for dollar longs is increasing. Here's why:
U.S. dollar seasonality is turning bearish in late November.
-
There is a bearish relative-strength (RSI) divergence
-
The U.S. dollar is close to its upside target
-
The May 15, 2016, Profit Radar Report provided the following outlook and visual forward projection:

" Based on Elliott Wave Theory, the strong rally from May 2014-March 2015 looks like a wave 3. The trading range since then looks like a wave 4. Upon completion of wave 4, we anticipate a wave 5 rally to new highs. The rally to new highs may well be more choppy (at least initially) than projected ."
Based on the short-term RSI confirmation, the rally may stretch a bit higher, but upon completion, the dollar is likely to suffer a notable pullback.
Gold
In July, gold reached important Fibonacci resistance at 1,382, while smart-money hedgers were record short (detailed resistance and sentiment information is available here ).
Since then, gold lost 12% of its value. Smart-money hedgers have scaled back their short exposure, and short-term sentiment is getting pessimistic (a positive for gold).
