The USD/TRY pair is attempting an upside break of the consolidation formed in a narrow range of 18.30-18.40 in the early European session. The asset has remained in the grip of bulls for the past week after establishing above the critical hurdle of 18.25. The major printed a fresh all-time high at 18.41 on Wednesday amid hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) policy.
On a daily scale, the USD/TRY pair has refreshed the all-time highs after overstepping the 20 December 2021 high at 18.39. The asset is hovering around all-time highs at 18.40, however, signs of exhaustion in the upside momentum is favoring a mild correction ahead.

Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in the bullish range of 60.00-80.00 for a prolonged period, which indicates a continuation of upside momentum.
A decisive slippage below the 20-EMA at 18.24 will drag the asset towards the round-level support at 18.00, followed by August 9 low at 17.56.
On the contrary, the greenback bulls will shift into the unchartered territory after overstepping the fresh all-time highs at 18.41. An occurrence of the same will send the asset towards the psychological resistance at 19.00 followed by the round-level resistance at 19.50.
