USD/TRY Price Analysis: 50-DMA pushes bulls to aim for six-week-old resistance line

  • USD/TRY keeps early-week rebound from 50-DMA towards 21-DMA.
  • Descending trend line from late December becomes the key hurdle.
  • Steady RSI suggests sideways moves between 50-DMA, stated resistance line.

USD/TRY stays firmer around $13.48 during Thursday’s Asian session, holding the latest rebound from the 50-DMA.

The quote’s sustained bounce off the 50-DMA gains support from the steady RSI line to battle the 21-DMA, around $13.53 at the latest.

However, a downward sloping trend line from December 21, near $13.61, becomes the key challenge for the USD/TRY buyers, a break of which will not hesitate to propel the quote towards January’s top surrounding $13.95.

It’s worth mentioning that the USD/TRY bulls need validation from 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of December 20-23 downturn, around $14.30, for further upside.

Meanwhile, pullback moves remain elusive until staying beyond the 50-DMA level of $13.42. Also challenging USD/TRY sellers are the lows marked in early January around $13.15 and $12.75.

Should the prices drop below $12.75, USD/TRY bears may not hesitate to challenge the late 2021 bottom close to $10.25.
