Euro vs. Dollar: Sideways, But for How Long?
"Triangles appear to reflect a balance of forces" -- Frost & Prechter's Elliott Wave Principle

Every time a new wave of the financial crisis thunders over us, it restarts the debate about which of the world currencies is "the safest." Right now is no exception.
