USDHKD Technical Analysis – 5-September-2024

- The relative strength index indicator approaches the median line, signaling a neutral market.

USDHKD Forecast – 5-September-2024
The primary trend is bearish because the price is below the 50 and 100-period SMA. Therefore, we suggest monitoring the market for short opportunities.
That said, the immediate support lies at today’s low, the 7.792 mark, which is in conjunction with the ascending trendline in the 4-hour chart. If the price dips below 7.792, the downtrend will likely be triggered. If this scenario unfolds, the next supply zone will be the August 20 low at 7.785.
Furthermore, if the selling pressure exceeds 7.785, the next critical support will be the August 8 low at 7.780.
Please note that the USD/HKD bearish scenario should be invalidated if the bulls (buyers) cross and stabilize the price above the September 3 high at 7.799, a barrier that neighbors the descending trendline.
