The US Dollar has reversed sharply from yesterday's lows, but the theme on which the move is predicated couldn't be more discouraging: a global sell-off. Higher yielding currencies and risk-correlated assets are taking it on the chin for the second day in a row, in part due to a growing belief that economic downturn anew is hitting the global economy.
This has set the stage with some fairly interesting setups in some of the USD-pairs, in light of the fact that many of them were rejected at general trend resistance across the board since July, the 13-EMA (see: AUDUSD, EURUSD, USDOLLAR).
As it were, a renewed pullback in AUDUSD and EURUSD accompanied by a falling USDJPY alongside equity markets makes for interesting dinner conversation with AUDJPY and EURJPY.
