USD/TRY Technical Analysis: Nears resistance at 5.9385

  • USD/TRY is closing on key resistance, having witnessed a triangle breakout on Dec. 17.
  • The daily RSI is reporting overbought conditions.  

USD/TRY is closing on the resistance at 5.9385 (Oct. 14 high), having closed higher for the fourth straight day on Wednesday.  

A break above 5.9385 is needed to establish a higher high and bolster the bullish setup represented by the contracting triangle breakout on the daily chart confirmed on Dec. 17 and the ascending 5- and 10-day averages.  

A close above 5.9385, if confirmed, will likely yield a sustained rise above 6.00.  

Indeed, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is reporting overbought conditions with an above-70 print. The price chart, however, is showing no signs of buyer exhaustion and the bullish case would be invalidated only below the rising 10-day MA, currently at 5.8350.
