USD/CNH Technical Analysis: drops to 5-week low, tests head-and-shoulders neckline support


The USD/CNH pair has dropped to 6.8367 - the neckline of the head-and-shoulders bearish reversal pattern and the lowest level since Dec. 4 - as expected, having suffered an ascending triangle breakdown earlier this month.

Daily chart

  • A close below 6.8367 would confirm a head-and-shoulders breakdown. That would mark a transition from the bull market to the bear market and open the doors to 6.6934 (target as per the measured height method).
  • Only a move above the bearish-lower high of 6.9193 (right shoulder high) would revive the bullish view.

Trend: Bearish below 6.8367
