USD/CNH struggles to break above hourly 200-MA
|USD/CNH is struggling to break above the 1-hour 200-MA level of 6.9082 this Wednesday morning following a three-day winning streak.
Eyes Trump speech
China’s currency policy has been a sore point with the incoming US President Donald Trump. He has repeatedly called out China for artificially lowering its exchange rate.
Trump’s anti-China picks have also heightened the odds of a trade war/protectionism.
Consequently, the Yuan traders and FX traders in general would watch Trump’s speech due later today for more insights into what the President Elect plans to do with China.
USD/CNH Technical Levels
The USD/CNH pair (offshore Yuan) was last seen trading around 6.9070. An hourly close above 6.9082 (1-hour 200-MA) would open the doors to 6.9144 (session high) and then to 6.9209 (Dec 21 low). On the other hand, a breakdown of support at 6.90 (zero figure) would expose 6.8911 (50-DMA) and 6.8551 (Dec 5 low).
