ZARJPY Continues Its Double-Top Neckline Formation

SOUTH AFRICA
  • We previously mentioned that the momentum on ZARJPY has been looking bearish in the past two weeks after the double top at 8.8060 reached in April and June.
  • After finding support at its 100DMA on Friday, ZAR weakness has led to further downward retracement on ZARJPY this week, with the pair approaching its ST key psychological support at 8.
  • Next level to watch on the downside stands at 7.8740, which represents the neckline (red line).
  • The surge in risk off sentiment has left ZAR vulnerable since the beginning of June; the rand stands among the worst-performing EM currencies, down 7.7% against the dollar.
