ZARJPY Testing LT Upward Trending Support Line

SOUTH AFRICA
  • ZARJPY has been testing its LT upward trending support line in the past two weeks after consolidating sharply lower in June.
  • Next level to watch on the downside stands at 8.
  • Key support stands at 7.8760, which corresponds to the 50% retracement of the 6.9450 – 8.8060 range and the neckline of the double top – neckline formation we have been observing this year.
  • The 75bps hike from the SARB last week has not been enough to support the rand in the past week as the elevated level of risk aversion continues to weigh on risk on ZAR.
  • Key resistance to watch on the topside stands at 8.26, which corresponds to the 100DMA.
