USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Chipping away at key ascending trendline support

  • The USD/CNH pair is feeling the pull of gravity as Shanghai Composite is gaining altitude, possibly due to assurances from regulators.
  • The currency pair is currently trading around the key rising trendline seen in the hourly chart and could suffer a deeper pullback to the 200-hour exponential moving average (EMA) of 6.9201 below the diagonal support line.
  • The RSI on the hourly chart has dipped below 50.00 in bearish territory and the MAC is signaling that the bearish move is gathering pace. As a result, the rising trendline support could be breached in the next few hours.
  • Only a move above 6.9470 (daily high + resistance on the hourly chart) would weaken the bearish setup.
