Technical outlook
The bias continues to point to the downside in USD/MXN. The RSI in the daily chart is about to reach extreme oversold levels but is still moving south. No signs of a bullish correction are seen at the moment.
The immediate support area is seen at 22.00/05 followed by 21.60. On the upside, 22.50 is the first resistance level and then 22.75/80 (weekly high) and 23.20.
