U.S. Dollar Imminent Collapse.. Again? - Update 5

Currencies / US Dollar Mar 24, 2009 - 12:13 AM GMT

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article The fall in the U.S. Dollar in the wake of the "Quantitative Easing" headlines has brought the Dollar collapse proponents back out of hibernation. However the actual dollar trend has shown little if any deviation from the road map of 20th Jan 09 as illustrated by the below original price chart which therefore at this point in time does not warrant an indepth update.

The USD continuous to target a move to USD 81, my own view is that there will be some overshoot to the downside to perhaps 79 in advance of the next leg higher. Again, I say at this point in time contrary to the dollar doom calls there is little evidence on the charts that the USD Bull Market has ended as the Dollar continues to consolidate during the first half of 2009 as originally envisaged, and therefore my expectations remain for the Dollar to bounce off of the low in the region of USD 79-80. So Dollar Collapse Hunters BEWARE!

Nadeem_Walayat 26 May 09, 22:42	US Dollar The forecast of Jan 2009 has proved pretty accurate even in so far as the downtrend into late may as the above graph implies (E). Yes an update is now overdue as is one for gold, but I need to get to grips with the big picture which suggestive of a strong economic rebound for the UK.
