Found support

The dollar has played a key role in the market action of the past two days, with dollar-denominated assets exhibiting a strong inverse relationship with the currency. Technical levels have also played a role in the end-of-week action. After declining as much as 2% in early going, the market was able to erase huge losses. Volatility could remain elevated next week as the market continues to digest macroeconomic factors and growing uncertainty.
