. Dlr's rally fm 120.42 (Jul low) to 124.48 last week confirms early correction fm Jun's near 13-year peak at 125.86 has ended there n despite fall to 123.01 Mon, y'day's rise to 124.03 suggests the erratic fall fm 124.48 has ended at 123.01 n further consolidation inside 123.01-124.48 broad range wud be seen. As long as 123.33 sup (y'day's low) holds , gain to 124.19 (last Thur's high) is envisaged, abv 124.48 res would encourage for a re-test of 125.86 in Aug, abv would extend LT uptrend fm 2011 record low of 75.32 to 126.78, this is 61.8% proj. of the intermediate upmove fm 115.57 to 125.86 measured fm 120.42. Below 123.01 would risk 122.45 (50% r fm 120.42-124.48)but 121.97 (61.8% r) wud hold.
. Today, we're holding a long position entered y'day at 123.45 for gain twd 124.19 res but profit should be taken ahead of key U.S. GDP later. Only below 123.33 would risk weakness to twd 122.92 but 122.45 should remain intact.
