US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices snapped support at a trend line guiding prices higher since late February, hinting a near-term trend reversal may be at hand. A daily close below the 50% Fibonacci retracement at 11950 exposes the 61.8% level at 11899. Alternatively, a reversal above the 38.2% Fib at 12000 opens the door for a challenge of trend line support-turned-resistance at 12025.
