Eur/Usd<>US Dollar Index................
Hello James... The Fundamental<>Technical picture has inverted...
Quote:
Euro needs to exit the 1.1960 - 1.2500 range, formed by the 618 boundaries, to attract more money in either direction. I think the argument for both sides is equally compelling.
What do you feel is the important factor giving the short side your votes?

the consolidation of the Range 1.2460<>1.1970 is reaching its culmination...FED tightening Bias...ECB containment of the 1.24/25 basis are still Fundamental facts...with that Central Bank perception...and North containment of 1.2460...
Looking for a retest of the 1.1760 basis.

The US Dollar has firmed and advanced from the 88<>88.50 basis...with the "soft patch" in US Economic Growth shifting and showing Fundamental strengthening in conjunction with a FED Hike Bias...as USD has had inverse movement in light of cautious warning Data releases...basing...with Net Majority Positioning setting up Longs at the ST50 88<>50Fib 88.50 level. The ST50<>50Fib has contained USD declines and provided strong launchpoints North...with USD currently at 89.40... with important Data verification for further USD strength catching the Market's attention...
See USD making a break of the important 90 basis...for an initial North move to 90.50<>91 basis.
USD is Buying the Weakness.

This weeks US Dollar Index<>COT Data has decisive action in Positioning that gives credence to a Bullish USD...the Smart Money ie the Commercials/Fundamentals...have liquidated Shorts enmasse by Covering over 5000 Short Positions from the 9/7<>9/14 period. Along with declining Open Interest on the Short Covering to Commercial Longs initiating a Dollar rally...and the extreme opposition to the Large Speculators...A Big Move is Brewing as the Commercials have abandoned Short USD Positions on Data that is not an 8:30amEST release. The USD's Fundamental/Technical alignments are Positioning heavily Net Long at this Time with a firming at 88<>89 basis ...which shows the "unusual strength" on adverse Data releases...base building a Bullish USD Bias.

The Dollar duality Sentiment is still in effect...thus a break of the demarcation lines at 90<>88 hold the answer...USD is reaching a point of singularity with the Range envelope imploding. The Best Research is in Pre-Positioning...which is were we are currently at...early Directional Bias...based on the Squaring of Time/Price.
US Dollar Index currently 88.90...
90 basis break ...North
89 Squaring of Time/Price
88 basis break ...South

Net Commercial Positioning are Long USD...at 92% with declining OI covering at an extreme to the Large Specs... and thru the exits on Short USD Positions.
The firming of USD's Fundamental/Technical structure continues...
Thus Looking for a retest of the 1.1760 basis initialy to a new South decline Low in the 1.16<>1.1550 levels...and then........
The US Dollar has reached Decision Time...........
