Talking Points:

  • US Dollar Extends Advance, Sets New 11-Year High
  • S&P 500 Produces Largest Daily Decline in 6 Weeks
  • Gold Aims to Continue Down, Oil Hits 1-Month Low

US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices look poised to continue higher after prices advanced to the highest level in over 11 years. Near-term resistance is at 12107, the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 12221. Alternatively, a below the 23.6% Fib at 11965 opens the door for a challenge of the 11854-76 area (14.6% Fibonacci expansion, March 2009 high).

Alternatively, a reversal back above the 50% Fib at 2049.50 targets the 38.2% retracement at 2066.00.
