The pair continues its journey south, as none of the nearby supports were able to stop the bears.
For now the support at 101.20 stands its ground, meaning there is still a chance, even though slim, the U.S. Dollar is going to recover from here.
Although the Cable has been hesitating to extend the rally the past two weeks, in the end the exchange rate managed to overcome the 2009 high at 1.7044.

Greenback's decline has been stopped by the 2011 high at 1.0658 and we do believe that from this point onwards the buck will start outperforming the loonie.
It seems that the Aussie has lost its strength before reaching this year's high (at 0.9462); however, it was trading near this level reaching the recent high at 0.9448.

The U.S. Dollar broke away from the 200-day SMA and closed below the 55-day SMA, meaning the current downward momentum is unlikely to subside any time soon.
