. Looking at the bigger picture 1st, dlr's break of previous Dec's 116.69 low to a fresh 4-/12 month trough of 116.51 last Fri suggests re-test of key daily sup 116.15, being reaction low of the major decline fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 (Jun) would be seen after current consolidation is over, break would yield further subsequent weakness to 115.57 (2014 Dec low) n later twd 113.31, being 50% r of the intermediate rise fm 100.76 would be seen. Current falling daily indicators add credence to this view n only abv 118.38 signals temporary low is made, risks stronger retracement twd 118.85.
. Today, dlr's intra-day sharp retreat fm 118.11 to 117.31 due to renewed weakness in U.S. stocks suggests the 1st leg of correction fm 116.51 has ended there n choppy consolidation with downside bias remains. however, a daily close below 117.01 sup needed to bring re-test of 116.51, then decline twd 116.15. We are holding a short position for 117.05 n only abv 118.11 risks 118.28/38.
