The dollar sale was kicked out to Highgear by a July non-farm salary report. Below forecast. Worse, the figures for the past two months have been revised with a massive 258,000 employment.
The sale deepened following President Trump’s firing of Labor Statistics Director Erica Mantelfer’s Office and the unexpected resignation of Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler.

The RSI, an important momentum indicator, bounced violently from the “oversold” level of 30 and is now back to neutral 50.84. This indicates that strong sales pressure from the beginning of this week has been eased for now. If Bitcoin can be broken and held above EMA, the next target will be a resistance level of nearly $118,000, seen at the highs in late July.
