US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS โ€“ Prices declined as expected after negative RSI divergence hinted at ebbing upside momentum. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 11985 exposes the 38.2% level at 11937. Alternatively, a move above the 14.6% Fib at 12015 clears the way for a test of trend line support-turned-resistance at 12045.
