US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices corrected downward after piercing October’s high to hit the strongest level in over four years. Near-term resistance is at 11216 the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 11308. Alternatively a reversal below the 11102-43 area marked by the October 3 high and the 23.6% Fib opens the door for a challenge of trend line support at 10993.
