USDHKD Forecast – 7-June-2024
The currency pair ranges narrowly between 7.807 support and 7.811 resistance. It is currently testing the immediate resistance.
From a technical standpoint, if the USD/HKD price breaks above 7.811, the 38.2% Fibonacci at 7.813 could be the next resistance. Furthermore, if the bull adds pressure and the price exceeds 7.813, the 23.6% Fibonacci level, which coincides with the May 3 low at 7.817, could be targeted.
If this scenario unfolds, the 7.811 should be considered as resistance to the new USD/HKD uptrend wave.
Bearish Scenario
The immediate support is located at 7.807. If the USD/HKD price dips below this support, the downtrend from May 31 will likely resume, and the 78.6% Fibonacci at 7.802 will be the next support area.
The simple moving average of 100 will support the bearish scenario.
