LATAM FX
  • USDMXN traded higher last week and in the process traded through both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. Furthermore, resistance at 17.3959, the Jul 7 high, has been pierced. A clear break of this level would signal scope for a stronger recovery and open 17.5977, the Jun 5 high. The broader trend condition is bearish and moving average studies continue to highlight a downtrend. The bear trigger is 16.6262, the Jul 28 low. Initial support to watch lies at 16.9728, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDBRL remains in a downtrend, however, a corrective cycle resulted in a strong bounce last week and the pair has traded higher today. Price has recently cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs and this strengthens a short-term bullish theme. The next important resistance is 4.9499, the Jul 6 high. Clearance of this level would be seen as an important short-term breakout and open 5.0039, the Jun 2 high. Initial support to watch is at 4.8158, the 20-day EMA.
