The USD/CNH pair (offshore yuan exchange rate) has created a narrowing price range or a contracting triangle on the hourly chart.
Hourly chart
The 50-hour moving average (HMA) is holding above the 200-HMA and is trending north in favor of the bulls. The ascending triangle breakout on the 14-hour relative strength index (RSI) also indicates that the path of least resistance is on the higher side.
USD/CNH, therefore, is likely to confirm a bullish breakout with a convincing move above the upper edge of the triangle, currently at 6.8075. That would open up upside toward 6.8450 (Dec. 5 low).
Trend: bullish above 6.8075
