In Mid-May, USD/MXN failed to climb to the higher trading zone then pointed lower generating bearish signals the one after another. The first signal was closing below the 50-day moving average, then closing below 23.315, and the last one was yesterday as the pair fell to the current trading zone 20.962 – 22.041.
A close below the low end of the zone may encourage market participants to press towards 20.260, and a further close below that level could send USDMXN even lower towards 19.912.
In turn, a close above the high end of the zone cancels the last bearish signal mentioned above and could trigger a rally towards 23.315, and a further close above that level may extend this rally towards 24.437.
That said, the weekly support and resistance levels underlined on the daily chart (zoomed in) should be considered in both bullish/ bearish scenarios.
