The Chinese Yuan experienced a sharper-than-expected decline against the US Dollar, with the USD/CNH pair falling to 6.7766 before rebounding and closing 0.21% lower at 6.7818, according to UOB analysts Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann [1]. The analysts noted that the sharp decline appears to have stabilized, and they anticipate intraday consolidation between 6.7780 and 6.7920 [1].
For the next one to three weeks, UOB expects the USD/CNH to trade within a range of 6.7700 to 6.8100, reflecting a fading of the previously building upward momentum [1]. The analysts highlighted that a sustained recovery in the pair would require a break above the 21-week EMA at 6.8430 on a multi-week view [1].
Previously, upward momentum was observed, with expectations that a close above 6.8080 could lead to a move toward last month's high of 6.8195. However, this view was revised as the upward momentum faded, and the pair is now expected to remain range-bound in the near term [1].

CONCLUSION
The Chinese Yuan's recent sharp decline against the US Dollar has stabilized, with analysts expecting range-bound trading in the near term. A sustained recovery would require a break above the 21-week EMA at 6.8430. Market participants are likely to monitor the pair for any signs of renewed momentum.
