Dollar Index Falls Below Key Technical Indicator

According to Everbank's Chris Gaffney, the dollar index has fallen below its 55-day moving average, a key technical indicator.

But even before the automakers got the bad news from the Senate, the dollar was falling faster than we've seen in the past few weeks. Chuck shouted out across the trade desk around noon yesterday that the dollar index, which tracks the greenback against the euro, yen, pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc, had fallen below the 55 day moving average. This is a major level for technical traders, and signaled the dollar could be headed for a further fall.
