quick technical analysis on USDollar DXY index
nothing too fancy, just a quick job on back of envelope

multi-year weekly chart:
stockcharts.com!d20,2!f%5D%5Bvc60%5D%5BiUb14!Uh15,5,5%5D&pref=G

top recently in Nov2003 at 94 (give or take)
bottom recently, in Jan2004 at 85 (give or take)
established with double bottom in perfect technical fashion
so we got 9+ pts of potential to deal with
we have gone past a 3/8-ths retracement
we have just gone past a 1/2 retracement

a 5/8-ths retracement would mean over 5.5 to 6.0 pts off bottom
so right around DXY=90 is the level I see prevailing as resistance
it also happens to contain a zero at the end of the number

weekly stochastix (graph at top) show we are nearing the
overbought level near 80

we saw a notable turn in mid-November at 90.5
so my conclusion is DXY halts at 90 to 90.5, right in there

DXY has been mozying around 89 to 90 for two days now
I think the USDollar nearterm bounce is about done
it could easily dither between 88 and 91 for a week
this pig has been flying for two or more weeks now
longer than the Wright Brothers, but not as impressive
it is about done, all but the shouting
just some struggles to mark a more clear exhaustion
