USD/CNH: trapped between key MAs
|- USD/CNH (offshore yuan) is trading the narrow range defined by the 50- and 200-hour MAs.
- Risk-on could push the pair above the 200-hour MA.
The USD/CNH pair is trapped between the 50- and 200-hour moving averages (MAs), currently at 6.7726 and 6.7897, respectively.
Reports hit the wires yesterday that the US is considering reducing or lifting tariffs on China with an aim to win China's support for long-term reforms. In response, stocks picked up a bid, helping USD/CNH defend the 50-hour MA.
More importantly, the futures on the S&P 500 are currently reporting a 0.28 percent gain, that is, the risk assets are likely to remain bid. Therefore, USD/CNH risks penetrating the 200-hour MA hurdle.
That would boost the prospects of a stronger recovery rally. After all, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is reporting oversold conditions. As of writing, the pair is trading at 6.7830.
