USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Head-and-shoulders breakdown confirms bear reversal

  • The head-and-shoulders breakdown, as seen on the 4-hour and daily chart, indicates a bullish-to-bearish trend change, that is, the rally from the June low of 6.3828 has ended and the bears have regained control.
  • More importantly, it has opened the doors to 6.6840 (target as per the measured height method).
  • The oversold conditions indicated by the 14-hour relative strength index (RSI) could yield a re-test of the neckline resistance (former support) of 6.8212 before further downside unfolds. Only, back-to-back daily closes above 6.8212 would invalidate the bearish pattern.
