Also, whenever you have two negatively correlated markets moving in the same direction, anticipate consolidation.
For eg.
When the S&P500 is going up and DXY is going down, this is a good condition for seeking trading opportunities, this is normal.
However, when they are both going in the same direction anticipate chop.
