The dollar consolidated on Friday but should advance on Monday on news that the US Congress will ratify the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The dollar is lacking much direction, but given the illiquid trading conditions and the ratification of the TARP, its bias is up. The US economic agenda will open on Monday with the release of the personal income and spending reports for August.
The euro/dollar fell to a one-week low but remained in an inside range and my model remains long. The short term outlook is bearish. Immediate support is at 1.4486. The next level is 1.4438. Below 1.4370, support is at 1.4255. Initial resistance is seen at 1.4600. The next level is 1.4685. Above 1.4735, resistance is still seen at 1.4810.
Oscillators are mixed.
NEAR-TERM: Slightly bearish
MEDIUM-TERM: Mixed
LONG-TERM: Bearish
Dollar/yen is alternating up and down days. My model remains long, but the pair is in a triangle and the medium-term outlook remains mixed. It’s slightly bullish in the short term.

Good support is at 105.60 from a 50-point pivot that targets 105.10 and 106.10. This is followed at 104.50 by a 50-point pivot, which targets 104.00 and 105.00.
