USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Eyes 7.00 after bullish reversal

Having defended the key rising trendline earlier this month, the USD/CNH pair closed yesterday above 6.9312 yesterday - the 61.8% Fib R of 6.98/6.8521 - confirming that the pullback has likely ended and the bulls have regained control.
The bullish close above the 61.8% Fib is also backed by the ascending 5-, 10-day exponential moving averages (EMAs).
As a result, the pair could take out the recent high of 6.98 and test the major psychological hurdle of 7.00 in the near-term.
A daily close below the 10-day EMA would weaken the bullish pressure.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone
