United Overseas Bank (UOB) analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann report that the USD/CNH currency pair is experiencing continued downside momentum, following a recent slip to 6.7653 [1]. Intraday analysis suggests there is a possibility for the US Dollar to test the major support level at 6.7600, provided it remains below the resistance at 6.7780 [1]. On a 1–3 week horizon, UOB maintains a slightly negative outlook for the Dollar, expecting it to trade with a downside bias toward 6.7600, as long as the strong resistance at 6.7820 is not breached [1].
The 24-hour view notes that after the USD dropped to a low of 6.7695, momentum for further weakness increased, although the major support at 6.7600 was considered likely out of reach at that time. Subsequent price action saw the USD rise to 6.7781 before falling again to 6.7653, reinforcing the ongoing downward momentum [1]. For the downside trend to persist, the USD must stay below 6.7780, with minor resistance at 6.7720 [1].
UOB's analysts turned slightly negative on the USD as of July 15, when the spot rate was at 6.7720, highlighting the increasing downward momentum and the likelihood of the USD trading toward 6.7600 [1]. The view remains unchanged unless the strong resistance at 6.7820 is breached [1].
No explicit market reactions or analyst opinions regarding broader implications were provided in the article. The focus remains on technical levels and momentum within the USD/CNH pair [1].
CONCLUSION
UOB analysts see continued downside momentum for USD/CNH, targeting the 6.7600 support level as long as resistance at 6.7820 holds. The market sentiment is slightly negative for the US Dollar against the Chinese Yuan, with technical factors driving the outlook. No broader market reactions or forward-looking statements beyond the technical analysis were discussed.
