Tech Focus: LatAm FX Price Signal Summary: USDMXN Cracks Support

EMERGING MARKETS
  • USDMXN maintains a weaker tone and is trading lower once again today.
    • The pair has cleared a key near-term support at 19.7197, May 18 low and the bear trigger.
    • This confirms a resumption of the downtrend and ends the recent lengthy consolidation since Apr 20.
    • The focus is on 19.5494, Jan 21 low and a primary support.
    • Key resistance has been defined at 20.2132, Jun 4 high.
  • USDBRL remains soft and is consolidating ahead of support at 5.0107, Dec 14 low. A clear breach of this level would reinforce bearish conditions and open 4.8187 further out, Jun 8 2020 low. A firm near-term resistance is at 5.3740, high May 24. Initial resistance is seen at 5.2153, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDCLP outlook remains bullish despite the recent weakness. A bullish theme follows sharp gains following the reversal from 690.32, May 10 low. The climb has exposed the next area of resistance between 740.22, Mar 29 high and 743.10, Mar 8 high. Clearance of these two levels would open 751.20, Jan 13 high and a key resistance. Support is seen at 710.46, May 18 low. A break would highlight a bearish risk instead.
