USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Bearish continuation pattern seen in hourly chart

• The offshore Yuan is under pressure as of writing, as the US tariffs on Chinese imports are set to take effect at 0401 GMT.
• The hourly chart shows USD/CNH has created a bear flag – a bearish continuation pattern, meaning a break below 6.6475 (flag support) would signal a resumption of the sell-off from the recent high of 6.7329 and open up downside towards 6.5621 (target as per the measured height method).
• The bear flag breakdown would also add credence to extreme overbought conditions as highlighted by the 14-day relative strength index (RSI).
