U.S. Dollar Lower to Start the Trading Day

Tuesday, February 26--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log

OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS

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

* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *

The U.S. dollar is technically teetering at present. Further weakness this week is likely to produce fresh, serious technical damage to suggest another leg down in prices in the near term, including new lows carved out against some currencies. If the greenback rebounds the rest of this week, then a sideways to higher trend is more likely to develop in the greenback.--Jim
