The dollar received fresh boost from better than expected US import/export data on Tuesday and extended recovery from Monday’s low at 111.65. Bullish releases today add to expectations about December rate hike, following yesterday’s bullish signal on President Trump’s comments favoring hawk John Taylor to replace Janet Yellen as Fed chairperson. Fresh bullish acceleration further diminished downside threats seen on firm break below 200SMA, which so far failed twice. First pivot at 112.45 (converged 10/20SMA’s) was cracked, with firm break here and above daily Tenkan-sen (112.54) needed to confirm reversal and shift near-term focus towards targets at 112.75 (Fibo 61.8% of 113.43/111.65 downleg) and psychological 113.00 barrier (Fibo 76.4%) which guard recent peaks at 113.25 and 113.43.
