    Well we have breakout... I will wait for confirmation but will be converting my base currency from CAD to USD... Very bullish on USD now in most currency pairs.

    Took a loss last week (-60) on the Kiwi trade but looking to re-enter, this time short.

    Currently flat going into FOMC but looking at the 7240 line as that represents the 61.8% Fib retracement from the 6600-8200 run from last summer. It has bounced off it a few times and briefly dipped below this morning before recovering, but if it breaks that with dollar positive news from Fed then I'll look for a short down to 7100, then 7050. If 7240 holds again, then take a long as support holds at this level for now.
