The hugely powerful rally from May 2014 - DXY 78.93, to the recent high of 100.71, appears to have concluded. A very natural retrace to the multi-year breakout - in the 90/87 zone looks increasingly probable across the spring/summer.

Summary
It has been a long week.. so this will be brief - despite the fact I could chat about currencies for a considerable number of pages!
-
The weekly cycle looks maxed out... and even the monthly is now offering the first provisional warning via a moderately spiky-top candle.
A retrace to the breakout - achieved last November, looks very viable across the next few months.
If correct, then a weaker dollar will be very bullish for both the equity and commodity markets.

Finally, the UK FTSE has broken the 7k threshold. Next upside is upper trend/channel resistance, which by end year will be around 8k.
