USDx TUG of WAR 2


The concentration of the market is currently focused on the successive meetings with the European leaders in trying to find countless ways to prevent a fallout of the Euro as the ill-effects of the debt crisis still prevails. The market conditions towards the end of the year's trading is critical.
However, after the round of central bank actions, most major participants would and players would have to go back to the drawing board where the technicals would be used to draw key price parameters and where key levels would be identified as such. Namely, the US dollar index still is our main focus. Please take the time to review our previous article before the thanksgiving holiday dated the 21th of November. The key levels to really pay a closer attention would be the the trading support levels at 77.90-78.10 range that should be able to hold.
This is in contrary to the assumed double top daily formation for the US Dollar Index. The correction is quite distinct and recognizable. However, we do not discount the higher bottoms of the 2nd leg. The typical market price reversal made last Oct. 27, 2011 at the 74. 72 should not be discounted with an initial top at 79.70 resistance price levels in line with the Oct. 04, 2011 price of 79.83 basis point. Thus making a visible double top formation on the daily chart formation. This is where the TUG OF WAR between bull and bears would be playing out towards the end and start of the 2012 trading year. Again, the probability of having an across the board recovery in currency value would still have a light at the end of the tunnel where not a lot would really be expecting. This includes the USDX to move higher above the 80.00 basis point eventual objective before the end of the year's trading.
