The dollar consolidated on Tuesday, but slipped noticeably only against the pound. It ’s still overbought in the short term, so expect more
corrective pullbacks. However, they should provide new opportunities to buy the US currency for medium-term trading.
EURO/DOLLAR
Eurodollar treaded water near a two -month low of 1.1900 and the overall negative sentiment remains in place.
The big prize remains 1.1885 and a close below this level would trigger a long-term head-and-shoulders formation. Below a pivotal support
at 1.1866, the euro/dollar has good support only at 1.1670!
Initial resistance is at 1.1976. Above 1.2000, resistance is seen at 1.2040. The next level remains stacked at 1.2100.
Oscillators are falling.
NEAR-TERM: Slightly bearish
MEDIUM-TERM: Bearish
LONG-TERM: Bullish
DOLLAR/YEN
Dollar/yen hovered a 17-month high of 114.37 and after some mild correction, this strength should continue.
The key level here is still 114.20 from a 50 -point pivot, which targets 114.70 and 113.70. Distant resistance is at 115.50.
Below 113.70, strong support is at 112.90 from a 50 -point pivot, which targets 113.40 and 112.40.
Oscillators are advancing.
NEAR-TERM: Slightly bullish
MEDIUM-TERM: Bullish

Oscillators are mixed.

1.3240.
