24-HOUR VIEW: “USD traded in a range on Wednesday and then closed largely unchanged. Yesterday (Thursday), we pointed out that ‘Despite trading in a range, there has been a slight increase in momentum.’ We expected USD to edge higher, but we noted that ‘as momentum is not strong, any advance is unlikely to break above 7.2600.’ Our view of a higher USD was correct, even though the advance surpassed 7.2600 (high has been 7.2700). Given the severely overbought conditions, USD is unlikely to advance further. Today, USD is more likely to trade in a range, probably between 7.2350 and 7.2700.”
