As the greenback met resistance at 113.85 yesterday and retreated, retaining our view that further consolidation below last week’s high at 114.37 would be seen and pullback to 113.00-05 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 110.87-114.37 and previous resistance) cannot be ruled out, however, reckon 112.60-65 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 110.87-114.37) would limit downside and bring rebound later, above 113.85 would bring test of 114.00-05 but break of latter level is needed to signal the pullback from 114.37 has ended, bring retest of this level later.
In view of this, we are inclined to buy dollar on next decline but one should exit on such rebound as 114.37 resistance should cap upside. Below support at 112.39 would risk further weakness to 112.20-25 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 110.87-114.37) but still reckon previous support at 112.09 would hold from here.
