Key Quotes
“We highlighted last Monday (07 Feb, spot at 4.3000) that ‘the rapid increase in momentum is likely to lead to further USD/MYR strength towards 4.3250’. We added, ‘the next resistance at 4.3480 is likely out of reach this week’. Our view was not wrong as USD/MYR soared to 4.3300, closed at 4.3290 before rising above 4.3480 in early Asian trade. Not surprisingly, upward momentum has improved further and the risk for USD/MYR this week is still on the upside.”
“There is a strong resistance level at 4.3660, a break of this level could potentially trigger a rapid rise to 4.4000. In order to keep the momentum going, USD/MYR should not breach the strong support at 4.2950 (minor support is at 4.3290).”
