The euro has been on a dramatic run versus the dollar. This chart only goes back to the end of 2006, but the trend has lasted longer than that.

But being at such lofty levels, the $1.60 area to be exact, you start to wonder when a trend is winding down. So far, despite some weakness lately, this one still looks to be intact.

4)A breakout to fresh new highs.

The only thing we’re missing today is number 4). What are you betting on?

Regards,
