today we have the buck under the October 1st low it closed today at 106.1, with low of 105.8 Oct 1st support was 106.5 Bollinger Band was broken today, with lower band at 106.5
I do not present this info as UTTER BREAKDOWN but rather as ongoing slowmotion erosion breakdown relative strength is weakening badly now in stochastic oversold territory, which could remain with us
next support is early Sept low of 105.4 we saw three knocks at the upper resistance levels near 109 and three failures, often a precursor of bigger decline of the last 10 days, only two updays, 5 straight downers
20MA is just about ready to crossover 50MA red dotted crossing blue solid such a crossover hasnt happened since early August but that was a favorable cross a bear cross would be ominous, given the chart I regard this as a bear pause pennant slowly breaking down
I think this BITCH has caught her bad breath enough to resume the downhill sprint all fundamentals are aligned with downward resumption federal deficits, trade gaps, expected lower rates and the biggee -- double dip recession evidence all over cars & housing lead into recession retraction the car hand has been totally played out the housing hand has been almost played out will another round of REFI's save housing? no way yet another round would only delay the inevitable, and probably intensify the severity of the RE decline's viciousness
