USD is likely to trade in a range for a while

24-HOUR VIEW: "While we indicated yesterday that 'the slight increase in upward momentum could lead to USD testing 7.1220', we stated that 'a clear break above this level is unlikely'. We pointed out that 'support levels are at 7.1120 and 7.1080'. USD subsequently traded within a range of 7.1124 and 7.1205, closing largely unchanged at 7.1194 (+0.02%). The price action provides no fresh clues, and today, we expect USD to trade between 7.1100 and 7.1220."
