On the daily chart, the USD/TRY cross-currency pair has been in the upside momentum since September, 7. The pair peaked to an all time high on Monday at 9.8505, after forming a strong bullish candle on Thursday. USD/TRY bulls are not ready to give up any time soon.
If the price sustains the session’s high it could again test the 9.8000 horizontal resistance level and then keep an eye on the 10.000 mark.
Alternatively, if the price reverses direction, it could first test the previous session’s low at 9.5418, followed by the 9.4000 horizontal support zone. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator holds onto the overbought zone with stretched buying conditions. Any downtick in the MACD could bring Thursday’s low at 9.2098 back into action. A break below 9.2000, the bears would seek the 9.0000 horizontal support zone.
