Euro vs US Dollar

  • initial line SSL Minuette (1.1745)
  • control line LTL (1.1733) pitchfork of Operational Scale Minute
  • control line LTL Minuette (1.1715)

The breakdown of the resistance level 1.1855 at the upper border of ISL61.8 of the equilibrium zone of the pitchfork of the Operational Scale of Minuette will make the continuation of the development of the upward movement of the single European currency to the final Shiff Line Minuette (1.1875) and the boundaries of the channel 1/2 Median Line (1.1925 - 1.1990 - 1.2055) of the pitchfork Operational Scale Minute.

The formula for calculating the dollar index is:

USDX = 50.14348112 * USDEUR0.576 * USDJPY0.136 * USDGBP0.119 * USDCAD0.091 * USDSEK0.042 * USDCHF0.036.

where the power coefficients correspond to the weights of the currencies in the basket:

Euro - 57.6%

Yen - 13.6%

Pound Sterling - 11.9%

Canadian dollar - 9.1%

Swedish krona - 4.2%

Swiss franc - 3.6%

The first coefficient in the formula brings the value of the index to 100 as of the start date of March 1973, when the major currencies began to be freely quoted relative to each other.
