Although dollar's retreat from last Thursday's high of 120.09 to 118.82 on Friday strongly suggests the correction from last Monday's 3-week through at 118.53 has ended there, intra-day rebound after marginal fall to 118.78 suggests further choppy trading above said support would be seen, however, reckon resistance at 119.66 would hold and bring another sell off later.
Below 118.78 would bring re-test of 118.53, break would signal erratic decline from March's near 8-year peak at 122.03 has resumed and bring re-test of 118.33 (reaction low from 122.03) and then towards 118.00.
