Price Signal Summary - USDCLP Pierces Key Support

LATAM FX
  • USDMXN traded lower last week and for now, the pair remains above last week’s low. Short-term gains would likely be a correction and a bearish theme remains intact. A resumption of weakness and a break of last week’s low of 17.2833 (Nov 3), would signal scope for an extension towards 16.9988, the Sep 20 low. Initial firm resistance is at 17.7141, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would instead highlight a possible short-term reversal.
  • USDBRL traded sharply lower last Thursday and Friday. The pair has breached trendline support at 4.9647. The trendline is drawn from the Jul 28 low and the break confirms a resumption of the bear leg that started Oct 6. Note too that this also cancels a recent bullish theme. Sights are on 4.8408 next, the Sep 19 low and the 4.8000 handle. Initial firm resistance is at 5.0696, the Oct 31 high.
  • The USDCLP uptrend remains intact, however, a corrective cycle is in play and this resulted in an extension lower last week. The pair has traded below both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The move lower has also resulted in a print below key support at 878.00 next, the Sep 20 low and a key level. A clear break of this support would open 862.38, the Sep 5 low. On the upside, initial resistance is at 911.84, the 20-day EMA.
