Price Signal Summary - USDMXN Starts The Week On A Bearish Note

LATAM FX
  • USDMXN has started the week on a bearish note and the pair is trading lower, extending the current bear cycle. The outlook remains bearish and key short-term resistance has been defined at 17.4280, the Aug 4 high. A clear break of this hurdle would highlight a potential short-term reversal and open 17.7714, the May 31 high. The bear trigger lies at 16.6262, the Jul 28 low, where a break would confirm a resumption of the medium-term downtrend.
  • The current USDBRL bull cycle remains in play and the latest pullback that started on Aug 18, appears to be a correction. A key resistance at 4.9499, the Jul 6 high was breached recently. This is seen as an important short-term breakout and opens 5.0039, the Jun 2 high. Further out, an extension would expose 5.1277, the May 31 high. The next support to watch is 4.8416, the Aug 10 low. A break would threaten the bull theme and expose key support at 4.6964, the Jul 28 low.
  • USDCLP maintains a short-term bullish tone, however, the sharp pullback last week highlights a corrective cycle. The pair has traded through the 20-day EMA and attention turns to the next key support at 835.73, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this level is required to suggest scope or a deeper retracement. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $872.75, the Aug 18 high. Initial resistance is at 860.95, the Aug 24 high.
