The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. ~ Bertrand Russell
Good morning. Dollar pulled back yesterday as risk pairs rallied following stocks, hence my plans to look for selling opportunities on more AUD weakness are on-hold. Holidays are approaching, so it’s probably best to take a break – not focusing much on charts & trades these days.
USD Index
Support formed by recent resistance around 80 is being breached, and that’s a big warning sign for dollar bulls. Perhaps is not the best thing to buy dips yet, but rather wait a bit more to see how this unfolds

EURUSD
Next resistance is around 1.32, so it’s a good idea to look for weakness signs if EUR gains 100 more points in the next sessions.

Short term charts are looking quite bearish now that the range has been breached to the downside, the opposite to what I expected – as I was looking for a buying opportunity on the potential break of 1.5650 resistance. One thing to consider in current conditions is to sell around 1.55 if price pulls back to the upside.

USDCAD
Pivotal support zone is under high pressure as CAD strengthens, following crude oil. Well, no more higher lows and one big leg down from recent top to 50% retracement are suggesting that it’s best to wait if you’re one of the US dollar bulls – otherwise consider selling on strength towards 1.0300 or more weakness, below 1.0200. I, for one, prefer to stand aside for now.

AUDJPY
Either due to pre-holidays optimism or something else – it looks that recent top around 80 is on the radar: potential reversal candle there should provide a reason to sell.
Australian Dollar Vs Japanese Yen Chart Daily 12-21-2011
Current hourly chart is as bullish as it gets, suggesting that it’s best to look for short-term scalps in case of minor pullbacks, hence buying dips

have a great day!
Hi Liviu,
As i see it, you are still bearish on EURUSD and at the same time you are looking selling opportunity on USDCAD. But i believe USDCAD is moving quite the opposite direction of EURUSD lately. If you are selling EURUSD, you can't sell USDCAD at the same time, it wont be profitable. Am i wrong?
Thanks

not really looking for selling opportunities in USDCAD. I prefer to stand aside and rather buy if USD recovers towards recent top. But the year is almost over and there's not much left to do in my trading platform, except maybe some intraday scalps every now and then
Instead of buying EURUSD I'd rather look at some other pairs to sell USD if that's the case, but so far I think it's not. Selling EURUSD into rallies is still the best bet
