Messy start to the week

It’s been a messy start to the week with choppiness across many FX pairs. I think that caution is needed here as this may reflect a turn in tide with sentiment and with the trend for the US$. US$ weakness has been the dominant theme since March last year so a relief rally would not surprise.

 

NB: updates may be less frequent over the next couple of weeks as we enjoy summer holidays down in this part of the world.

 

Data: Not much on the calendar today but watch for impact from US Political news.

 

DXY: this ship might be starting to turn. Note that price action is now back above the 4hr Cloud. Watch for any bullish-reversal descending wedge b/o. There are lots of commentaries emerging giving potential reasons for a bullish US$ pullback:
