USD/MXN downtrend has extended after it struggled to overcome the 50-Day Moving Average (DMA) at 18.00 last month (now at 17.60). Economists at Société Générale analyze the pair’s technical outlook.
The pair has recently revisited the trough of 2016 near 17.10 and is close to the lower limit of a multi-month descending channel.
The decline is a bit stretched; an initial bounce is not ruled out however the MA near 17.60 must be overcome to affirm a meaningful up-move. Failure could lead to continuation in downtrend; next potential support levels are located at projections of 16.95 and 16.60/16.40.
