The Dollar Index is currently trading flat at 79.38; only daily close below 79.00 would reinitiate major Dollar weakness.

The benchmark equity index (.DJIA) is currently trading strong at 13237, with 13300-13400 ranges acting as the short term resistance. Only daily close below 12400 would put major trend in jeopardy else as the index consistently trades beyond 13300, major rally reinitiates.
