Redback Hugs Tight Range

CNH

USD/CNH has held a tight range amid limited domestic headline flow, it last sits +10 pips at CNH6.4633. Bulls see the CNH6.4874-80 area, which capped gains earlier this week, as their initial target. Above there would shift focus to Aug 20 high of CNH6.5102. On the downside, bears look for a fall through the 100-DMA/Sep 23 low at CNH6.4529/25, which would give them a green light for targeting the CNH6.4261-44 zone.
