Next 1-3 weeks: “While shorter-term momentum has not improved by much, the underlying tone for USD appears to be firm and the bias is for USD to edge higher. That said, any advance is expected to face solid resistance at 6.4150. On the downside, a break of 6.3750 would indicate that the current mild upward pressure has eased.”
