Price Signal Summary - USDCLP Approaches Resistance

LATAM FX
  • USDMXN remains firm. The pair rallied sharply higher Monday extending the recovery that started last week and price is trading at its recent highs. The 20- and 50-day EMAs have been cleared and 19.00 has been breached. The next key short-term resistance is at 19.2906, the Feb 6 high. A break would pave the way for strength towards the 19.50 handle and 19.5882, the Dec 30 high. 18.4707, the 20-day EMA, is the first support to watch.
  • USDBRL short-term conditions remain bullish and this week’s gains reinforce this condition. Yesterday’s price activity resulted in a test above resistance at 5.3073, the Feb 10 high and a key hurdle for bulls. The break opens 5.3518 next, the 76.4% retracement of the Jan 4 - Feb 2 bear leg, ahead of the 5.4000 handle. On the downside, key support to watch lies at 5.1012, the Mar 8 low. A break of this level would instead signal scope for a return to 4.9410, the Feb 2 low. Initial support lies at 5.1995 the 50-day EMA.
  • USDCLP remains above the Mar 7 low of 789.00 and price has traded higher this week. Key short-term resistance is at 836.45, the Feb 27 high, where a break is required to reinstate a bullish theme and highlight scope for a stronger recovery. This would open 850.00 and 860.58, the 38.2% retracement of the Sep 26 - Feb 3 bear leg. A break of 776.28, the Feb 3 low, would resume the medium-term downtrend.
