CEEMEA FX Price Signal Summary - USDZAR Tests Resistance At The 50-Day EMA

EMERGING MARKETS
  • Last week’s recovery in USDZAR appears to be a correction - for now - and a bearish threat remains present. The recent break of support at 18.6945, the Oct 18 low, and the recent move through the 50-day EMA, strengthened a bearish theme. Moving average studies are in a bear mode position too. The break lower has exposed the 18.00 handle and 17.9434, 76.4% of the Jul 27 - Oct 6 bull phase. On the upside, initial key resistance has been defined at 19.2710, the Oct 26 high. Note that the pair is testing resistance at the 50-day EMA, at 18.8009. A clear break of this average would threaten the bearish theme.
  • The path of least resistance in USDTRY is unchanged and remains up as the USD continues to appreciate against TRY. Initial support lies at 28.2527, the 20-day EMA. The focus is on the 29.00 handle.
