The 'small speculators' are doing a remarkably good job of moving with the market in the dollar which is unusual.
The funds long positions and the Open Interest dropped precipitously as of the market close on Tuesday December 16. They do however remain net long, so we will have to see if the selling continues on.
Notice how neatly the dollar came down and tagged key support. We suspect strongly that unless there is significant official intervention, probably from Japan, that we will go back down and retest that low.
"A new, invisible and at times virtual, tyranny is established, one which unilaterally and irremediably imposes its own laws and rules. Moreover, indebtedness and credit distance countries from their real economy and citizens from their real buying power. Added to this, as if it were needed, is widespread corruption and selfish fiscal evasion which have taken on worldwide dimensions. The will to power and of possession has become limitless." Francis I, 16 May 2013
