Tech Focus: CEEMEA FX Price Signal Summary: USDTRY Downtrend Remains Intact

EMERGING MARKETS
  • EURHUF is unchanged and is consolidating. Recent short-term gains are still considered a correction. The outlook remains bearish and the downtrend that started Dec 31 is intact. The focus is on 353.15 next, a major support and the Dec 14 low. 354.87, Feb 2 low is the bear trigger.
    • On the upside, key resistance remains 361.14, Jan 27 high where a break is required to alter the picture. Initial resistance is at 359.66, Feb 9 high.
  • EURPLN is also unchanged and consolidating. The cross is trading above the recent low of 4.4709, Feb 10 low. A breach of 4.5057/89, the 50-day EMA and Feb 12 high would signal scope for a stronger recovery. Key resistance is further out at 4.5618, Jan 28 high. Sub 4.4709 levels would resume bearish pressure.
  • USDZAR weakness appears to have found a base for now at 14.405, Feb 16 low. Tuesday's price pattern in candle terms is a bullish engulfing signalling scope for a short-term corrective recovery. A break of 14.8256, Feb 17 high would open 15.0047, the 50-day EMA. Key support and the bear trigger is at 14.4052.
  • USDTRY is consolidating. Bearish conditions continue to dominate.
    • The pair has breached 7.00 to maintain the bearish sequence of lower lows and lower highs.
    • This has opened 6.8568, the 50.0% retracement of the Nov 2018 - Nov 2020 uptrend.
    • The 20-day EMA at 7.1312 marks a firm near-term resistance.
