USD/CNH: to trade between 7.2850 and 7.2950 – UOB Group

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The US Dollar (USD) is likely to trade in a sideways range of 7.2850/7.2950, but it’s also likely to rise above this range. Resistance levels to watch are at 7.3000 and 7.3100, UOB Group analysts say.

A breach below 7.2700 to turn the USD southwards

24-HOUR VIEW: “Our view for USD to continue to rise last Friday was incorrect, as it traded sideways between 7.2838 and 7.2920, closing largely unchanged (7.2915, -0.01%). There has been no increase in momentum, and USD could continue to trade sideways today, likely in a range of 7.2850/7.2950.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “We have expected USD to strengthen since early last week (see annotations in the chart below). In our latest update from last Friday (21 Jun, spot at 7.2920), we indicated that ‘further USD strength is likely, and the resistance levels to watch are 7.3000 and 7.3100.’ There is no change in our view. On the downside, a breach of 7.2700 (no change in ‘strong support’ level from last Friday) would mean that USD is not strengthening further.”
