Analysis of the USD/CNH Price: Stays over 7.3500, close to two-year highs

The immediate barrier at the upper edge of the descending channel is tested by USD/CNH.
There is still a bearish bias present since the 14-day Relative Strength Index is below the 50 mark.
The seven-month low of 7.1644 is where the first support is visible.


The USD/CNH pair trades at about 7.1860 on Friday during Asian hours, recovering from recent losses recorded in the previous session. The pair price is attempting to break above the descending channel pattern, according to a daily chart analysis, which suggests that the bearish trend is waning.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a crucial momentum indicator, is still below the 50 mark, nevertheless, indicating that the bearish trend is still present. Additionally, the USD/CNH pair trades below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), further signaling weaker short-term price momentum.

The immediate barrier on the upside is the top limit of the declining channel, which is in line with the nine-day EMA at 7.1865. The USD/CNH pair would retest the "pullback barrier" at 7.2200 if a breach above this critical resistance zone resulted in the establishment of the bullish bias.

The primary support for the USD/CNH pair may be found at the seven-month low of 7.1644, which was reached on June 5. The pair may be under downward pressure to move through the area surrounding the lower border of the descending channel at 7.0350 if this is broken, which would strengthen the bearish bias.
