According to UOB’s Quek Ser Leang, the USD/CNH currency pair slipped to a low of 6.7865 before rebounding, ultimately closing at 6.7911, representing a 0.14% decline for the US dollar against the Chinese yuan on the day [1]. The analyst notes that the oversold conditions suggest limited further downside for the USD, and projects an intraday trading range between 6.7860 and 6.7990 [1].
On a 1–3 week horizon, the previous bullish bias for the USD/CNH has ended following a break below the 6.7900 support level, with the pair now expected to consolidate within a broader range of 6.7750 to 6.8080 [1]. UOB highlights that any medium-term recovery in the USD/CNH would require a break above the 21-week EMA at 6.8430 [1].
