Key Quotes
24-hour view: “USD dropped to 114.63 last Friday before rebounding to close at 114.78 (-0.59%). Despite the rebound, the risk appears to be tilted to the downside. That said, any USD weakness is expected to face solid support at 114.40. Resistance is at 115.05 followed by 115.25.”
Next 1-3 weeks: “Our view from last Thursday (03 Mar, spot at 115.55) where USD could rise to 115.90 was invalidated as USD dropped below our ‘strong support’ level at 115.00 (low of 114.63). Downward momentum is beginning to build but USD has to close below the major support at 114.40 before further weakness is likely (next support is at 114.00). The chance for USD to close below 114.40 is not high for now but would remain intact as long as USD does not move above 115.40 within these few days.”
