Looking at the bigger picture, dlr's 'erratic' fall fm 118.66 (Dec 2016) to 2019 low at 104.46 (Sep) confirms the early uptrend fm 2016 29-month bottom at 99.00 has made a top there. Although price ratcheted higher to a 9-1/2 month top of 112.22 in Feb, dlr then tumbled in tandem with U.S. stocks n yields to a 3-1/2 year trough of 101.19 in early Mar on risk-off trades due to coronavirus pandemic.

On the downside, only weekly close below 106.45 (50% r fm 101.19) risks 105.15/25.
