The US$ looks certain to close below the key 100 level for the day and, thus, for January and any continued weakness will have implications for many currency pairs; the effects of which are being seen already. A number of breakout trades from charts posted over the w/e have got moving and the pip tally from these is 300 pips with an extra 0.35 cents thrown in from a b/o move on Silver. All discussed below.
USDX daily: the index looks set to close below 100 for the day and the month and price looks like closing below the daily Cloud as well. A hold below both of these levels is obviously bearish and with implications for many currency pairs. There is a fair bit of US data to monitor tonight with Private NFP (ADP), ISM Manufacturing PMI, Vehicle Sales, Construction spending and FOMC so watch to see if one or other of these cement a move in the US$ either above or below the key 100 level.
