Despite renewed concern that there will be no Greek deal agreed by end month, the USD saw a net daily decline of -0.2% @ DXY 95.48. The secondary target zone of 92/90 remains very viable, it will likely require some kind of last minute Greek deal. Regardless of the short term, the DXY 120s are coming.

Summary
*I remain looking to go long the USD via UUP in the low $24s. For now, I'm content to wait another few weeks, not least if a Greek deal is arranged around end month.

Nothing has occurred to change my broader view for King Dollar. It would still seem the USD has built a giant multi-month bull flag, having seen a very natural retrace from the high of DXY 100.71 in mid March.
I am aware of a fair few analysts who note resistance at DXY 105, but really, once we break new multi-year highs, it should be a broadly straight hyper-ramp to the 120s into next year.
Looking ahead
Thursday will see the usual weekly jobs, pers' income/outlays, PMI service sector.
*two fed officials will be speaking, but I don't believe the issues to be discussed will be relevant.
