Price Signal Summary - USDCLP Bears Remain In The Driver’s Seat

LATAM FX
  • USDMXN remains above 18.5080, the Feb 2 low. The trend outlook is bearish and the latest recovery is considered corrective - for now. However, resistance at 19.1091, the Nov 19 high, has been cleared. An extension higher would strengthen a bullish theme and signal scope for a stronger short-term recovery, towards the 19.40 handle and 19.4804, the 38.2% retracement of the Jul 14 2022 - Feb 2 bear leg. On the downside, key support and the bear trigger is at 18.5080.
  • USDBRL is holding on to its recent gains following the rebound from 4.9410, the Feb 2 low. Despite the recovery, the near-term outlook remains bearish and the bounce is considered corrective. The pair has recently traded below 5.0108, the Aug 29/30 low and a key support. A clear break would represent an important bearish development and confirm a broad range breakout. This would open 4.8853, 76.4% of the May 30 - Jul 21 2022 bull leg. Initial firm resistance to watch is at 5.2557, the Jan 19 high.
  • The USDCLP outlook remains bearish despite the most recent recovery.
