US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSISPrices may be readying to correct lower as negative RSI divergence warns of fading bullish momentum. Near-term resistance is at 12221, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 12335. Alternatively, a reversal back below the 38.2% Fib at 12107clears the way for a test of the 23.6% expansion at 11965.
