The underlying tone has softened, and USD is likely to edge lower. However, any decline is unlikely to break clearly below 7.2680. Resistance is at 7.2920, followed by 7.3050.
Next 1-3 weeks: We have held the same view since Monday (21 Aug, spot at 7.3100), wherein USD could consolidate for a few days before breaking above last week’s high of 7.3490. While USD consolidated over the past few days, there are no signs of it breaking above 7.3490. Upward momentum has eased, instead of breaking above 7.3490, USD is more likely to trade in a range of 7.2500/7.3300 for the time being.
