The USD had a uneventful day of mostly technical trade with only the USD/JPY stretching outside established overnight ranges to the downside and USD/CAD suffering a rally to the upside. Most pairs made early highs or lows on the news of additional government-sponsored bailout options provided by the US and other G-7 nations as the prop of the financial system continues to remain center-stage.

Rate has inside range day but rallies on news of potential rate cut; OK to look at the buy side on weakness to the bottom of the range. Pullback to the 1.3400 handle on lighter volume. Rate is an absolute screaming buy in my view. Aggressive traders can buy anytime under the 1.3900 handle in my view.

Traders note stops triggered on the way down along with technical selling. Oil weaker helps pressure also. Traders note stops building above the market but those likely remain out of range today.

Rate is two-way on the way down to trade under support around the 1.7300 area; volumes better and traders note large names on the bid possibly covering shorts. Rate is likely heavily over-sold. Follow-on selling likely to attract short-covering on further weakness. Follow-on selling likely from technical's and spillover from EURO. Aggressive traders can buy this dip around the 1.7380 area; look for a recovery back to the 1.8000 handle near term.
