USD/TRY Hovers Above Key Trendline Tourist Outlook Brightens

TURKEY
  • USD/TRY trades +0.23% at the open, diverging slightly from a marginally weaker greenback.
  • The scaling back of lockdown measures buoyed TRY sentiment yesterday, facilitating a third firm reversal back below the 8.50 handle.
  • Price action failed to break below the lower trendline of the ascending flat-sided triangle pattern on the daily chart needed to alter the underling USD/TRY uptrend.
  • A Consolidated close below 8.30 would achieve this and will be eyed closely in today's price action.
  • Covid cases continue to exhibit a decelerating trend, increasing the prospect of a half-decent tourist season in Turkey.
  • Meanwhile, Erdogan continues to criticise Western handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict, holding regular discussions with OIC members to rally support for Palestine.
  • Intraday Sup1: 8.3006, Sup2: 8.2593, Res1: 8.3597, Res2: 8.3984
