Next 1-3 weeks: Our latest narrative was from 24 Aug (spot at 7.2840), wherein USD is likely to trade in a range of 7.2500/7.3300 for the time being. Last Friday (01 Sep), USD fell below 7.2500 (low of 7.2392) before rebounding to close at 7.2715 (-0.05%). Despite no significant increase in downward momentum, the breach of 7.2500 has slightly increased the downside risk.

The chance of USD breaking clearly below 7.2390 will remain intact as long as USD stays below 7.3000 in the next few days.
