Notice the following on the weekly chart:

-- Prices rose 22% from the end of July to December

-- Prices hit upside resistance at price levels established in 2006

-- All the SMAs are increasing

-- Prices are above all the SMAs

-- The shorter SMAs are above the longer SMAs

BUT:

-- The RSI is very overbought and

-- The MACD is overbought

Notice the following on the daily chart

-- The uptrend started in July is still intact

-- Prices have stabilized in a 3-4 point range

BUT

-- The 10 and 20 day SMA are both moving more sideways than up

-- Prices are entangled with the 10 and 20 day SMA

-- The RSI is decreasing

-- The MACD is decreasing

Bottom line: technical indicators at the weekly and daily levels are pointing to this rally being over. The SMA/price situation on the daily chart is adding to that conclusion. Keep your eyes open for a fundamental catalyst to move the dollar lower
