Dana Lyons – Market Volatility, Dollar Breakdown Risks, and What Sectors Are Showing Strength
Dana Lyons, Fund Manager and Editor of The Lyons Share Pro joins us for a timely update on the ongoing market volatility and the internal signals his models are flashing.
Despite ongoing swings, Dana’s models, which have been negative since December, suggest the recent washout could mark the beginning of a base-building process. He highlights potential for an intermediate-term rally if key resistance levels are reclaimed, supported by improving sentiment, breadth, and momentum divergences.
We also explore:
- How the volatility spike and market pullback compares to 2020, and why this setup is different.
- The critical support zone in the US Dollar (DXY) and what a break below 99 could signal.
- Dana’s trading strategy in panic-driven markets: Staying hedged, staying active, and identifying relative strength.
- Early signs of leadership from defensive sectors (utilities, staples, insurance) and even international names like Argentina.

The last two weekly closes were also the lowest in three years. But before all that, momentum had spoken.

Perhaps the best reason for a bounce or at least a consolidation is the fact that the dollar is down 10% in 3 months. It fell over 12% in 4.5 months in 2022 but I’d bet it will beat that this year.

We are witnessing the death rattle of The US dollar. Trump’s tariffs have hastened the decline that was inevitable.
Soon we will be looking back at the Greenspan era as the good old days. LOL! DT
Matthew, BDC, and others:
Is anyone else following the Nasdaq/Silver relationship? Does it actually mean anything on a macro-economic level? I find the 5-point (2 top, 3 bottom) parallel trend interesting.
[[ NOTE: I don’t read every comment (or click on every chart link) on KER, so perhaps someone has posted this chart before. ]]
BrianE, such ratio charts mean as much as any price chart and often more. You’re right to see value in the parallel channel as well as that long term support. The more legitimate a parallel channel or support/resistance is the more meaningful it usually when they break and that channel you found is very much worth watching, specifically this month’s low.
Not surprisingly, using the Nasdaq 100 instead makes little difference. Here’s a monthly version:

I’m curious, does anyone think the Nasdaq/stocks in general will resume its 16 year-old bull market?

The dollar is daily and weekly oversold but I still wouldn’t bet on much of a bounce. 4 of the last 5 closes were 3 year lows and the highest of the last 5 closes was a 21 month low. And it looks ugly based on other factors too.
