by Cornelius Luca
The dollar fell further after the G7 finance ministers and central bankers said the credit-market problems will slow economic growth and kept mum about the weakness of the dollar. Its weakness should continue. And keep an eye on the sliding carry trades.
Euro/dollar
Euro/dollar edged up to a new high for its lifetime and this process should last longer as the uptrend continues.
Strong resistance is seen between 1.4400 and 1.4420. Above 1.4450, strong resistance is seen only at 1.4580.
Below 1.4280, euro/dollar still has support at 1.4210.
Oscillators are rising.
NEAR-TERM: Slightly bullish
MEDIUM-TERM: Bullish
LONG-TERM: Bullish
Dollar/yen
Dollar/yen sank aggressively last week and this weakness should last amid profit taking on carry trades.
Initial support is at 113.26. Strong support is at 112.90 from a 50-point pivot that targets 113.40 and 112.40.
Above 114.60 there is strong resistance at 115.50 from another 50-point pivot, which targets 115.00 and 116.00.
