LATAM FX: Price Signal Summary - USDMXN Bullish Theme Remains Intact

LATAM FX
  • A bullish theme in USDMXN remains intact following the rally between Jul 12 and Aug 5. Last week’s gains and this week’s follow through also represent a positive development and suggest the recent corrective pullback is over. Attention is on the 20.00 handle that was pierced earlier this month. A clear break of it would open 20.7642, the 76.4% retracement of the bear leg between Nov ‘21 and Apr this year. The bull trigger is 20.2181, the Aug 5 high. Support to watch lies at the 50-day EMA, at 18.5704. Initial support is at the 20-day EMA, at 19.0207.                                           
  • Bullish conditions in USDBRL remain intact and the bear cycle over much of August is considered corrective. Support around the 50-day EMA, has been breached, however, the pair has recovered from its most recent lows. A continuation higher would open 5.6724, the 61.8% retracement of the Aug 5 - 19 correction. Clearance of this level would expose key resistance and the bull trigger at 5.8551, the Aug 5 high. Key support has been defined at 5.3768, the Aug 19 low. 
  • The USDCLP bear leg that started Aug 5, appears to be a correction. However, price has traded through a key support at 929.78, the Aug 1 low. The breach highlights potential for a deeper retracement towards 902.00, the Jul 11 low. Clearance of this level would highlight a stronger reversal and expose 881.73, the May 20 low. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on key resistance and the bull trigger at 966.61, the Aug 5 high. Initial firm resistance is 926.01, the 20-day EMA, and 940.53, the Aug 16 high.
