US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices moved upward as expected after producing a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 61.8% Fibonacci expansion at 11985 exposes the 76.4% level at 12044. Alternatively, a turn below the 50% Fib at 11937 clears the way for a test of the 38.2% level at 11888.
