Earlier this year a half-hearted recovery attempt came to naught. The US Dollar Index is currently resting on a 76.4% retracement support –we wait to see if this provides a launch pad for a fresh recovery attempt.

  • WEEKLY CHART Earlier support came from the bear channel base projection, following the brief breach of the 74.170 Nov-09 low.
  • DAILY CHART See how the Jul pullback has stuck at 76.4% support, fortified by the 73.506 07-Jun low. A clear positive reaction is needed to reduce bear risk. In this respect a better break of the 38.2% recovery area is needed for the first bull signal, when higher targets can be considered. There comes a point when reluctance to drop below the 76.4% level becomes reluctance to recover –we are probably not far off that turning point.
