USD/TRY Technical Analysis: Bearish pennant breakdown confirmed

The USD/TRY closed yesterday at 6.3246, confirming a downside break of the pennant pattern on the daily chart or a bullish-to-bearish trend change. As a result, the spot could soon test support at 5.96 (Aug. 27 low) and could drop further towards the ascending 50-day moving average (MA), currently located at 5.62.
The pennant breakdown on the USD/TRY could trigger a relief rally in the other EM currencies like INR.
