USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Eyes recent lows after bearish Marubozu


  • The USD/CNH pair created a bearish "Marubozu" candle yesterday, confirming a bearish reversal - the corrective bounce from the Dec. 4 low of 6.8255 has ended at 6.9219 and the bears have likely regained control.
  • Further, the USD/CNH pair closed well below the 100-day moving average (MA) support yesterday.
  • As a result, USD/CNH risks revisiting the recent low of 6.8255 in the next few days. A break below that level would establish a bearish lower-low and would expose 6.80 (23.6% Fib R of March low/November high),
  • The bearish outlook would be invalidated if the spot violates the lower-high with a move above 6.9219 (Dec. 11 high).
