18th August 2010 , USD, Euro AUD, Daily


USD Index

After a 2-day reversal down from last Friday's highs and the Weekly 50% level as supported the trend, my view is for the USD index to continue higher, as long as price is above the 5-day 50% level on Wednesday NY time.

 Euro Weekly and 5-day pattern

If that's the case then the Euro will continue to drop....

However, there is nothing to really verify the trend moving lower, as price remains above the 3-month 50% levels in August and currently above the 5-day 50% level.

What would need to happen is a breakout of 1.2799


AUD Weekly and 5-day pattern

3-week low is normally seen as robust support and a continuation of the trend upwards...

However, I'm not sure whether the current price action is just a 2-day counter-trend move and Wednesday drops.

Random support the 5-day 50% level @ 8994
