 Market Harmonics' Currency Corner: Free Forex Trading News
Our Unweighted Major Currency Average (UMCA) rose another 0.7% to end the week at 10.46, now up 1.5% since its 10.30 low of December 5.
While the USD may continue to show some additional strength short-to-near term, the significance of that break with respect to a resumption of the USD bear market is still a question.
As we noted last week, an equivalent violation of the December 2004 low of 80.0 in the US Dollar Index (USDX) has not occurred, and we think the deciding factor will be the depth of retracement off the recent lows, as well as its quality.
