I didn't check Fridays chart of the dollar index, but the dollar was making
a retracement of its down leg.  I will have to check if it has voided that
down leg with this up move. I don't follow  the dollar index that closely,
but the BP took a blood bath.  Went right to the targets on the way down.
Have a good week end. Ira.
