Downward pressure remains intact
24-HOUR VIEW: "Yesterday, we indicated that USD 'could decline gradually, but it does not appear to have enough momentum to break below 7.2260.' Instead of declining, USD traded in a sideways range of 7.2340/7.2524, closing slightly higher (7.2450, +0.14%). There has been no change in either downward or upward momentum, and USD could continue to trade sideways, likely between 7.2300 and 7.2600."
