United Overseas Bank (UOB) analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann have provided an updated outlook for the USD/CNH currency pair, indicating a short-term consolidation phase with a bullish bias for the Chinese Yuan against the US Dollar [1]. In their 24-hour view, the analysts expect the Dollar to trade within a narrow range of 6.7635 to 6.7755, noting that downward pressure has eased following recent price action. On Monday, the USD dipped to a low of 6.7635 before closing largely unchanged at 6.7688, representing a marginal decline of -0.02% [1]. UOB emphasizes that for downward momentum to continue, the USD must remain below 6.7755 [1].
Looking ahead to the 1–3 week horizon, UOB maintains a downside bias for USD/CNH, targeting a move toward 6.7600, provided the resistance level at 6.7820 is not breached [1]. The analysts note that while downward momentum has slowed, the bias remains intact as the USD reached a fresh low of 6.7635 yesterday [1]. The narrative from last Wednesday (15 Jul, spot at 6.7720) also highlighted increasing downward momentum, reinforcing the expectation of further declines toward 6.7600 [1].
No specific market reactions or broader implications are discussed in the article, nor are there any analyst opinions beyond the technical outlook provided by UOB [1].
CONCLUSION
UOB analysts continue to see a downside bias for USD/CNH, with the Chinese Yuan expected to strengthen if resistance at 6.7820 holds. The short-term outlook suggests consolidation, but the medium-term view favors further declines toward 6.7600. Market participants should monitor the resistance and support levels closely for potential shifts in momentum.
