USD/CNH Technical Analysis: Signs of bullish exhaustion
- The repeated failure to hold on to gains above 6.84, as seen in the hourly chart, could be an indication the USD/CNH bulls are likely running dry.
- The signs of bullish exhaustion only validate the large bearish relative strength index (RSI) seen in the daily chart.
- As a result, a pullback to levels below 6.80 could be on the cards and could happen today as the PBOC announced a stronger daily CNY fix.
