Whereas markets keenly await the NFP report, the technicals mirror the potential for a bullish reversal on the pair. Worth motion reveals hesitancy across the current trendline help (black). Costs have moreover deviated fairly extensively from the EMA’s and at present sits comparatively removed from the 20-day EMA (purple). This might result in a rebound from USD/ZAR bulls because the potential for imply reversion is excessive. The Relative Energy Index (RSI), additional helps this notion with the oscillator approaching oversold ranges. This doesn’t take away from the truth that the pair is in a robust near-term downtrend, however I don’t foresee rand energy for for much longer.
