I remain longer-term bearish on the US Dollar/bullish on the Euro while near-term bullish on the Dollar, as the odds for an oversold bounce/rally off support. The charts below are long-term (20+ yr) weekly charts of $USD (US Dollar Index), with the previously posted charts from June 2nd & July 21st, calling for a move down to this level (now hit) with a reaction followed by another leg down to the 88.60ish level.
