U.S. Dollar Sees Corrective Bounce in Early Trading

Wednesday, July 25--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log

OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS

The market feature in overnight/early morning trading today is a strong rebound in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the other major currencies.

* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *

The mission of this blog is to provide each of you who read it at least one trading "nugget" each day, which will hopefully provide you with another clue, or clues, regarding the near-term price trend of the markets you follow. To that end, I have added to my blog report a key near-term Fibonacci price level for most of the on which markets I report in the blog. Fibonacci levels are key support and resistance levels. For those not familiar with Fibonacci levels, email me at jim@jimwyckoff.com and I'll email you back a feature story I wrote on "Fib" levels a while back.--Jim

U.S. STOCK INDEXES
