USD/CNH: Major resistance at 7.3115 is likely out of reach for now – UOB Group
|The US Dollar (USD) may rise further and break above 7.3000; the major resistance at 7.3115 is likely out of reach for now. In the longer run, rapid increase in momentum could lead to USD rising to 7.3115, UOB Group’s FX analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann note.
Rapid increase in momentum can lead to 7.3115
24-HOUR VIEW: “We did not anticipate USD to lift off and surged to 7.2954 (we were expecting range trading). While conditions are deeply overbought, robust momentum suggests USD may rise further and break above 7.3000. The major resistance at 7.3115 is likely out of reach for now. To maintain the momentum, USD must stay above 7.2700, with minor support at 7.2780.”
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We highlighted last Thursday (28 Nov, spot at 7.2500) that the recent ‘upward momentum has faded.’ We also highlighted that ‘The current price action is likely part of a consolidation range, and we expect USD to trade between 7.2200 and 7.2800 for the time being.’ Yesterday, in a sudden move, USD took off and surged to a high of 7.2954. The rapid increase in momentum could lead to USD rising to the resistance at 7.3115. Looking ahead, a clear break of this level will shift the focus to 7.3678. On the downside, a breach of 7.2550 would mean that our positive USD view is incorrect.”
