U.S. Dollar Relationship to Euro-Dollar Ratio and the Australian Dollar

When the euro-dollar ratio and Australian dollar head higher, the majority of the time they…put downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. Currently, the Euro-Dollar and the Aussie dollar are both attempting to break above falling resistance lines (see these charts from Kimble Charting Solutions) that have been in place for almost a 18 months suggesting possible further weakness in the USD.  As such, keep an eye on what these important currencies do because they are often quality leading indicators for important macro moves.
