USD can lower down to 153.20
24-HOUR VIEW: “After USD plunged last Friday, we indicated yesterday that ‘While the sharp and swift sell-off appears to be overdone, there is a chance for USD to drop below 153.85 before stabilisation can be expected.’ USD dipped briefly to 153.84, rebounded strongly to 155.35, and then pulled back, closing at 154.65 (+0.20%). The price action has resulted in a mixed outlook. Today, USD could trade in a choppy manner, likely between 153.80 and 155.10.”
1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Our update from yesterday (18 Nov, spot at 154.20) remains valid. As highlighted, ‘The current price action is likely part of a pullback that could extend to 153.20.’ On the upside, should USD break above 155.80 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level), it would mean that the current downward pressure has eased.”
