Despite a strg rise fm 2018 16-month bottom at 104.57 to 114.55 in Oct, subsequent flash crash to a 9-month low at 104.79 in early Jan suggests correction is over. Despite dlr's corrective rise to a 4-month high at 112.39 in Apr, dlr's break of said 2019 low to a 33-month trough of 104.46 in late Aug would pressure price twd 103.71 but 102.72 would hold this month.
