USD/CNH Technical Analysis: pair has carved out head-and-shoulders pattern
- The USD/CNH pair (offshore yuan exchange rate) has carved out a head-and-shoulders bearish reversal pattern with the neckline support at 6.8370.
- A close below the neckline would imply a bull-to-bear trend change - the rally from the March 2018 low of 6.2353 has ended and the bears have regained control - and would open the doors to 6.6956 (38.2% Fib R of March low/November high).
- Both the 5- and 10-day moving averages (MAs) are trending south, indicating bearish setup. The neckline support, therefore, could soon come into play.
- The bearish pressures would weaken if the pair violates the bearish-lower high with a move above 6.9193 (Dec. 21 high).
