Key Quotes
“The sharp and rapid drop in USD that started from 113.80 (29 March) is showing signs of slowing down”.
“Attempts
to move below 108.00 were thwarted by the strong 107.60/65 support and
the downward pressure has eased with the recovery from the low”.
“Daily
MACD is showing bullish divergence and has crossed into positive
territory as of yesterday. All these point to USD is trying to form a
base for a move higher”.

major and key 110.65 resistance (low in mid March & falling
trend-line) to indicate that a short-term low is in place (110.00 is
already a strong resistance)”.
