U.S. Dollar - Quick Note

Technical observations of RossClark@shaw.ca

Now that we have the upside reversal in the US Dollar Index (82.60) it is time to talk about the characteristics we can anticipate going forward. The initial rally should last four to six days, kiss the 20-day exponential moving average and bring the RSI(14) up to 52 +/- 3 points. Today, Friday December 10th, is day four in the rally, prices are above the 20-day ema and the RSI is at 47.50. Look for a more choppy trading pattern over the next few weeks.

If prices can manage to close above the standard deviation band (20ma, 2%) within the next two weeks then the likelihood of prices making a new low in the coming months is minimal. An upper target of 90.50 is quite possible by the summer.

However, a rally which is capped at the band will most likely result in a new low within the next 8 to 11 weeks before a sustainable rally can occur.
