Chart Junkie

US Dollar 12.09

Corey Rosenbloom, CMT, submits: “The market that has suffered most is that of the US Dollar (Index).  The Dollar Index began 1999 at the $95 Index level, rose prominently until its mid-2001 peak above $120… and fell all through the decade with the exception of 2005 and late 2008.  Price remains in a primary downtrend.

While the chart may look terrifying, in percentage terms, the Index is ‘only’ down 25% from where it began 1999 at $95, and is down 40% from its 2001 peak near $120.

Use this post and these charts as a reference for the 1999 – 2009 period when looking at how major markets have performed over the last decade.” (Source: Afraid to Trade)
