Dollar strength continues

The Dollar Index is headed for a test of resistance at 80. The brief dip below zero on 63-day Twiggs Momentum suggests a solid primary up-trend. Breakout above 80 would offer a target of 85*.

Dollar tanks

The Dollar Index failed to confirm the primary up-trend, breaking support at 76 with a sharp fall in response to news of a resolution to the euro-zone debt crisis. Expect a test of primary support at 73. Breach of the rising trendline on 63-day Twiggs Momentum would confirm.
