The US Dollar is trading higher versus the Chinese Yuan in offshore trade, after the pair managed to hold above the 6.6500 level as support on a retest.
The hold above 6.6500 seems likely to shift focus to intermediate resistance at 6.6860 followed by the 6.7 figure.
A break and hold above those recent highs may be required for bulls to really take control again.
A move to the downside may target the 6.6500 level again, followed by the July lows at 6.6224.
