USD/CNH DAILY PRICE CHART (SEp 24 - FEB 26, 2020) Zoomed In

From the daily chart, we noticed on Jan 27 USD/CNH opened with a gap to the upside and moved to a higher trading zone 6.9509 – 7.0699. Thus, a close above the high end of the zone may cause a rally towards 7.1402.

On February 20, USDCNH broke above the neckline of inverted head and shoulders pattern at 7.0130 eyeing a test of 7.1688. Yet, the weekly resistance levels and trading zone/s marked on the chart (zoomed in) should be kept in focus. It’s worth noting that, any violation of the neckline would negate the pattern.

Any failure in closing above the high end of the zone, could reverse the pair’s direction towards the low end of the zone. Further close below 6.9207 might lead USDCNH towards 6.8141. That said, the weekly support levels underscored on the chart should be considered.
