USD to trade with a downward bias towards 7.2400

24-HOUR VIEW: “We highlighted last Friday that USD ‘could test 7.2550 first before stabilisation is likely.’ Our view did not materialise as USD traded between 7.2634 and 7.2784. While USD closed largely unchanged at 7.2710 (+0.05%), it opened and traded on a strong footing in Asia today. Upward momentum is improving, and the risk for USD rising today. However, any advance is expected to face strong resistance at 7.2910. On the downside, support levels are at 7.2750 and 7.2650.”

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: “Last Friday (12 Jul, spot at 7.2685), we were of the view that USD ‘is likely to trade with a downward bias towards 7.2400.’ We highlighted that ‘the downward bias is intact as long as USD remains below 7.2910.’ There is no chance in our view.”
