The dollar showed weakness today as US equities ran the shorts on vaporous hopes of bailouts for the banks.
Notice though that Bucko has not broken any serious support levels so it is too soon to send flowers. So far this is a normal consolidation in a parabolic short squeeze and flight to safety.
We took profits on our long positions today, and went slightly net short when the SP 500 futures hit our intraday target of 866. This rally has a lot of air in it, but this is a light week, with the US markets closing for the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
We are far from a recovery, and will likely go back down and test those lows again, but first things first, and we may see more rally in US stock indices up to the 62% retracement levels.
"To enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.' To be a complete man means to have the passions obedient to the will and the will offered to God: to have been a man – to be an ex-man or 'damned ghost' – would presumably mean to consist of a will utterly centered in its self and passions utterly uncontrolled by the will." C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, 1940
