Break above 17.15 essential to denote a short-term uptrend

USD/MXN decline has gradually accelerated after it gave up the 50-DMA in March. The pair is not far from a multi-month descending trend line near 16.60/16.40. The move is a bit overstretched however signals of a meaningful rebound are not yet visible.

A break above the MA near 17.15 would be essential to denote a short-term uptrend.

Below 16.40, next potential objectives are situated at projections of 16.10 and 15.90.
