Watching USDZAR at 16.50 – Potential Test of Support?
asked by u/kavya_k · 3d · 1 answers
Been keeping an eye on $USDZAR today. We're currently trading around the 16.50 mark, having come down from 16.57 earlier. The 16.42 level seems to be holding as a decent floor for the moment. My read on the daily chart suggests that if we get a sustained break below 16.40, we could be looking at a move towards 16.30 or even lower. The risk for that scenario, of course, is if we bounce hard from here, particularly if we can't push through 16.45-16.48 with any conviction. A move back above 16.55 on strength would start to invalidate that more bearish outlook for me, suggesting the recent dip was merely a retest. The broader trend still seems to be struggling to find sustained direction, so I'm staying cautious.
