ZARJPY Rejected 100DMA Resistance

SOUTH AFRICA
  • ZARJPY consolidated sharply lower yesterday following the surge in risk aversion; the pair rejected the 100DMA resistance and is currently trading slightly above the 8.0950 level (38.2% FIbo retracement of the 6.9450 – 8.8060 range).
  • ZAR has also been impacted by the recent CNY depreciation.
  • We previously saw that ‘risk on’ ZAR has historically been very sensitive to the yuan moves (particularly CNY depreciation).
  • Next support to watch on ZARJPY stands at 8, followed by 7.87, which corresponds to the 200DMA and the neckline of the double—top-neckline formation we observed this year.
  • On the topside, resistance to watch above 8.2580 (100DMA) stands at 8.3670 (23.6% Fibo).
