"Dollar reversal breaking people's dreams?"

The fact the reversal has come on three large jumps rather than a series of steps looks more like the short-covering you see in tradable instruments. That said, after some to-ing and fro-ing we do expect the dollar to trade back above 110 on the DXY and quite possibly above the last cycle high—114.75-ish.

Mighty euro and the wedge

Euro closed below the 21 day moving average. Close it a little lower and this will break a huge rising wedge. First support around the 1.07 area, right where the 50 day comes in.
