re. USD & E-wave & Cycles, gotta say that the drop in USD from 2001 - Dec-2004 is a CLASSIX/TEXTBOOK 5 waves down with w3 is the extended one. R.N. Elliot would have been proud.
Also, imho Dec-04 marked the most recent 4-4.5 year cycle, and also most likely the most recent 8-9 year cycle low as well.
Therefore, right now USD is still rallying out of that low (as an abc up), and the next 80w (18-month) cycle low is ideally due May-July 2006. Will be interesting to see IF we can rally to new 52w highs out of that next 80w low ideally due early this summer.
