Key quotes
“USD/BRL maintains its large multi-year bullish ‘triangle’ continuation pattern from Q1, with the ‘measured pattern objective’ met during Q2 at the 5.9726 high for a sharp reversal back lower. This weakness has come to a halt ahead of the 61.8% retracement of the 2020 surge at 4.7558 for a move back higher.”
“We look for large higher level range to play out, with the short-term risks skewed higher for a fresh test of the current year high and psychological barrier at 5.9714/6.0000, which we expect to cap to define the top end of the range, with 4.7558 expected to floor the market.”
“Below 4.7558 can instead see a move back to the 200-day average at 4.6522 and then to the 78.6% retracement and ‘neckline’ to the large base at 4.4253/3386.”
