USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Looks north after strong defense of 6.85

  • The USD/CNH created a big bullish hammer candle while defending $6.85 support, adding credence to the bullish divergence of the relative strength index (RSI) witnessed yesterday.
  • As a result, the pair could soon re-test the 100-hour moving average (MA), currently located at 6.8985.
  • On the downside, acceptance below 6.85 would signal a continuation of the sell-off from the Aug. 15 high of 6.9584.
