Tech Focus: CEEMEA FX Price Signal Summary: USDZAR Pushes Through Its Bear Channel Top

EMERGING MARKETS
  • EURHUF continues to climb and today the cross has cleared the 295.00 handle. This paves the way for a move to 296.77 and 300.07, the 50% and 61.8% retracements of the downleg between Mar 9 - Jun 1. Support lies at 289.03, yesterday's low.
  • EURPLN remains a corrective phase. Recent gains have resulted in a break of both the 20- and 50-day EMAs suggesting scope for a stronger short-term recovery. Further upside would open 4.5500 and 4.5580, 50% of the Mar 29 - Jun 7 downleg. Support is at 4.4872, Jun 14 low.
  • USDZAR is pushing higher and extending the rally that started Jun 7.
    • The pair has traded above a number of key resistance levels; bear channel resistance at 14.0001, drawn off the Apr 24 2020 high and 14.0460, the 50-day EMA.
    • The channel has been cleared before however if a strong rally can be maintained, this would signal a key reversal of the entire downtrend that started early Apr 2020.
    • The focus is on 14.1989 next, May 13 high.
    • Initial support is seen at 13.6806, Jun 14 low.

  • USDTRY traded sharply lower last week. The pair tested the 50-day EMA at 8.3159 Friday and Monday and has since recovered. The EMA is considered a key support area and the bounce from it is a bullish development. Key S/T support has been defined at 8.2860, Jun 11 low. The focus is on 8.8008, Jun 2 high and the bull trigger.
  • USDRUB last week cleared 72.5385, Mar 16 low reinforcing the current bear cycle. Moving average studies remain in a bear mode and this clearly highlights the fact that for now, the path of least resistance remains down. The recent break lower signals potential for weakness towards 71.0838, 76.4% retracement of the Jun - Oct 2020 rally. Resistance is at 72.8974, the 20-day EMA.
