USD/MXN Technical Analysis: Short-term broadening wedge, risks titled to the downside


  • The Mexican peso outperformed today after financial markets have positively received the 2019 budget. 
  • The USD/MXN is moving in a broadening wedge in the short-term, at the moment with a bearish bias that could point to a test of the lower limit. A consolidation significantly below 19.95 would open the doors to an extension of the bearish correction, targeting 19.60/70. 
  • To the upside, resistance levels are seen at 20.40 and then 20.70. A close above the last one would expose 2018 highs at 20.95/21.00.
