Next 1-3 weeks: “After USD fell sharply on Monday, we highlighted on Tuesday (14 Mar, spot at 6.8600) that the ‘impulsive drop in USD is likely to continue’. However, USD has not been able to make any further headway on the downside. While the downside risk has decreased, only a break of 6.9300 (no change in ‘strong resistance’ level) would indicate that USD is not weakening further. Looking ahead, support level is at 6.8350.”
