Price Signal Summary - Monitoring Resistance In USDBRL

LATAM FX
  • The latest bearish pullback in USDMXN is potentially significant because it means that resistance at the 50-day EMA, which intersects at 17.9660, remains intact - for now. This is a key short-term hurdle for bulls where a break would signal a stronger reversal. The primary trend direction is down and a continuation lower would expose the bear trigger at 17.4207, May 15 low. A break of this level would open 17.0507, the Apr 29 2016 low.
  • USDBRL is trading higher. Recent gains have resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. For now, the move higher appears to be a correction. However, a clear break of the 50-day EMA and a move above resistance at 5.0891, the Apr 19 high, would alter the picture and suggest scope for stronger recovery. On the downside, a reversal lower would refocus attention on the bear trigger that has been defined at 4.8859, the May 15 low. A break would resume the downtrend.
  • USDCLP is largely unchanged and is holding on to the bulk of its most recent gains. The pair recently pierced support at 783.10, the Mar 31 low. A clear breach of 783.10, would expose the key bear trigger at 776.28, the Feb 3 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. For now, the pair remains above the May 15 low, a stronger bounce would instead refocus attention on key short-term resistance at 837.15, the Mar 17 high.
