. Let's look at the bigger picture 1st, dlr's rise fm 2016 bottom of 99.00 (Jun) to 118.66 (mid-Dec) confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 has ended there. Despite subsequent erratic decline to 108.13 in mid-Apr, dlr's rally to 114.49 last Tue confirms said move fm 108.13 has resumed n would head twd 115.51 (Mar top) later this month. Having said that, subsequent stronger- than-expected cross inspired fall to 112.27 last Fri signals temporary top has been made n choppy trading with downside bias is seen for a retracement to chart obj. at 111.73, however, reckon 110.56 (61.8% r fm 108.13) would hold. On the upside, a daily close abv 113.58 signals pullback over n yields 114.49 again.
. Today, dlr's rebound fm 112.33 to 112.87 suggests range trading abv 112. 27 low would continue, as long as 113.00 holds, said decline fm 114.49 would resume, however, 'bullish convergences' would keep price abv 111.73 sup. Only a daily close abv 113.00 would risk stronger retracement twd 113.53/58 b4 down.
