Canadian has the dumb queen on it
Euro has unknown cartoon characters
the sizes vary according to denomination, with color changes

they all are worth more than our clown USDollar
but they look more like play money

I will continue to investigate, and get back to you

the Canadian Dollar, quick comments on technicals

weekly chart:
stockcharts.com[h,a]waclyyay[df][pb50!d20,2!f][vc60][iUb14!Uh15,5,5]&pref=G

I still point to that weekly Japanese Hammer two weeks ago which bounced off the 75 level

(Jap Hammer sees within-week much lower, but with open and close near the best showing for the week, like a handle holding a hammer head)

I see a nice momentum swing in progress on the breakout above 75 flat
we had the push out the window, then the head returning inside, now the push out again
momentum swing numbers are 71 low in July, with 75 resistance, indicating a target of 75 + 4 = 79

slow stochastix are in flux here, not clear
had a little down crossover last week halted by the hammer reversal

relative strength is near the high mark of 70, showing some room to run up a little

uncertain signals shorterm
but nearterm looks like 79 will be reached
my guess is a touch of 80, then profitable retreat

my several years of T/A experience (without any claim of great expertise) tells me this is the beginning of the 2nd major Elliott Wave
if so, then we should see a move in the next 12-18 months to 95
first leg from 62 to 75
second leg from 75 to 95

no comments on fundamentals driving it
but minerals and resources have to be part of that equation

the Euro currency, quick comments on technicals
but with a few comments on EU, US, Chinese factors

weekly chart:
stockcharts.com[h,a]waclyyay[df][pb50!d20,2!f][vc60][iUb14!Uh15,5,5]&pref=G

we might have a rectangle pause pattern here
with bottom level of 107, high level of 119
a breakout would indicate a target of 119 + 12 = 131
but no signs here of any imminent breakout
my guess is a bounded range for a few months here, while the JYen catches up across the Pacific
the first 18 months of the Great Dollar Decline had not invited any Japanese damsels to the FOREX dance floor
no more
look for Asian ladies to see their hands grabbed in the next few months, as sellers look past European ladies

some indication of a major Elliott Wave upleg from 86 to 119 over a year in time
after the triple step, a pullback this summer to 108

the weekly stochastix (error in Can$ earlier, weekly not daily) showed a bear crossover two weeks ago
but I dont expect that to show much follow thru
the 20-wk MA at 114 might offer some support here
we have been dicking around in upper 114's

in midrange near 50 on relative strength, showing no bias up or down

the 30-35% move from last spring/summer 2002 has had a detrimental impact on the EuroZone economies
Germany's exports are down
recession is evident in three nations in the EU
exports are widely threatened
now the EU is subject to huge price competition by Chinese exporters, who have realized a 30-35% pricing advantage
in fact, I read of retooling of certain Chinese firms, whereby they target EU markets instead of US markets

here is a wildcard prediction:
CHINA WILL RELIEVE US PRESSURE BY REPEGGING TO THE EURO
AS THE DOLLAR SLIDES VERSUS EURO, THE CHINESE YUAN WOULD APPRECIATE VERSUS THE DOLLAR
THIS WOULD BE A DOUBLE VICTORY FOR CHINA
ON POLITICAL FRONT, RELIEF FROM US PRESSURE
ON TRADE FRONT, GREAT COMPETITIVE COUP FOR EU EXPORTS
