USDZAR Finds Resistance at 23.6% Fibo Retracement

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Bull retracement continues on USDZAR in today’s trading session after the pair broke above some key technical levels (200DMA, 100DMA, 38.2% Fibo) in recent days, with the rand potentially impacted by the recent flooding in and around Durban.
  • The ZAR is now the worst performing currency among the EM world since the start of the month, down 6.5% against the US Dollar.
  • USDZAR tested its ST key resistance at 15.67 earlier, which corresponds to the 23.6% Fibo retracement of the 13.41 – 16.37 range.
  • A break above that level would open the door for a move up to 16 (early January highs).
  • On the downside, key support to watch now stands at 15.2710 (100DMA).
