USD/ZAR Techs: Key Crossroads Ahead

SOUTH AFRICA
  • USD/ZAR approaching key resistance structures formed by the long-term bull channel, lateral resistance at 15.2104 and dynamic from the 50dma at 15.28 and declining.
  • This, coupled, with a large bullish engulfing candle places the pair at a key crossroads as US real yields force an unwind in EM FX positioning.
  • RSI indicating bullish bias at 57.93
  • Bullish MACD crossover below the signal line
  • Close outside the channel, above 15.2104 & 50dma could signal the start of a correction higher towards the 200dma (16.1283) and 16.08 lateral resistance around the 04-Nov breakout, provided US real yields keep the Greenback bid.
  • However, failure to breach this key resistance structure will likely see the cross consolidate or pull back lower.
