KRW: Recovery Still Underway

CNH

CNH/KRW has been working its way through the Mar 10 - Apr 9 slide, after bouncing near the KRW170.00 mark as the RSI returned from oversold territory. The evening star candlestick pattern which materialised halfway through this month failed to derail recovery. The 100-DMA eventually crossed above the 200-DMA, while the rate punched through the 38.2% retracement of the aforementioned Mar 10 - Apr 9 range, which capped gains on Apr 13.

  • A clean break above the nearby 50-DMA at KRW172.46 would conclude the formation of a double bottom pattern, lending further support to the bullish case. Next topside target is located at the 50% Fibo level at KRW172.71.
  • Conversely, a retreat under Apr 16/14 lows of Y170.62/170.57 would flash red light for bulls, shifting focus back to the round figure/Apr 9 low of KRW169.91.
