According to UOB’s Quek Ser Leang, the US Dollar against the Chinese Yuan (USD/CNH) has remained within a previously identified trading range, showing only modest upward momentum despite a recent push toward the 6.8000 level [1]. The analyst expects USD/CNH to stay confined between 6.7750 and 6.8080 over the next one to three weeks, with nearby support levels at 6.7900 and 6.7850, and major resistance at 6.8080 [1].
In the short term, UOB had anticipated that the USD would trade between 6.7800 and 6.7930, but the currency pair rose to a high of 6.7998, slightly exceeding expectations [1]. Despite this advance, upward momentum has not increased significantly, and while a move above 6.8000 is possible, the major resistance at 6.8080 is unlikely to be challenged [1].
Looking at the one to three week outlook, UOB reiterated that the recent USD strength has ended and expects the pair to continue trading within the established range [1]. The analysis notes that although the USD has edged lower since the last review, there has been no clear increase in downward momentum, supporting the view of continued range-bound trading [1].
No market reactions or analyst opinions beyond the technical outlook were discussed in the source article [1].
CONCLUSION
UOB maintains a neutral to slightly bearish outlook for USD/CNH, expecting the pair to remain range-bound between 6.7750 and 6.8080 in the coming weeks. Market momentum appears limited, with no significant breakout anticipated. The market impact is assessed as low based on the current analysis.
