Don’t believe the predictions about the “Death of the Dollar.” It is doing just fine against the Canadian Dollar and the Yen, thank you; and tall black Candlestick patterns in the Euro and in the Pound are the first evidence of long declines which, in turn, will elevate the Dollar Index to levels which we have not seen in more than a year.
