Of course, the pundits could even be wrong that the dollar's fall is over.  Here's a strong analysis from a site J pointed to during the week:

So far the dollar rally looks like a technical bounce similar to ones we have had in the past when the dollar sets a lower trendline, bounces off it, and then falls back and tests it after a three or four week rally.

I don't believe they can manipulate past the horrible fundamentals.

Correct. The US Property ATM has been switched off.

The next phase is a collapse of corporate profits as the recession hits, and a wave of defaults on corporate buyout debt.

Plus a new wave of mortgage defaults this time by people with "prime" mortgages, where the incidence of defaults is already way up in the US.
