24-HOUR VIEW: "USD fell sharply and closed at 151.15 last Friday. Yesterday, USD opened on a strong note, and when it was at 152.05, we stated that 'the immediate downward pressure appears to be easing, and instead of continuing to decline, USD is more likely to trade in a range today, expected to be between 151.30 and 152.70.' However, USD traded within a narrower range of 151.70/152.44. The price movement still appear to be part of a range-trading phase, most likely between 151.85 and 152.75."
