. On the bigger picture 1st, dlr's break of previous Apr's 107.63 low to a new 18-month trough at 106.14 y'day confirms MT fall fm 2015 near 13-year peak at 125.86 (Jun) to correct the entire LT uptrend fm 2011 record bottom at 75.32 has once again resumed n price is en route twd 100.59 (50% r) in Jun/ Jul. This week, as long as 108.73 holds, dlr should head to 105.74, then 104.88, being 100% proj. of intermediate fall fm 113.80-107.63 measured fm 111.91 n 50% proj. of 121.70-107.63 measured fm 111.91 respectively. Having said that, as daily n hourly indicators have displayed 'bullish convergences', 104.88 would hold on 1st testing n only abv 108.73 signals temp. low is made, risks 110.67.
. Today, as Mon's 106.14 low was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on the hourly indicators, subsequent recovery to 106.82 in NY suggests a temporary low has been made n 1-2 days of consolidation is in store, reckon 107.42 would cap upside n yield another fall but below 106.14 needed to extend twd 105.74.
