Mexican Peso Price Chart – USD/MXN Daily
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; USD/MXN on Tradingview
Technical Outlook: In my last Mexican Peso Price Outlook we noted that, “USD/MXN is trading at near-term support early in the week. From a trading standpoint, look for topside exhaustion ahead of the upper parallel IF price is indeed heading lower with a break below the 22.1495 needed to fuel the next leg lower in price.” The dollar registered a low at 22.2545 before rebounding off median-line support with price continuing to contract into the July opening-range.
Initial daily resistance stands with the 61.8% retracement of the late-June decline at 22.8179 with a critical resistance confluence just higher at 22.9773-23.1089– a region defined by the objective monthly open, the 100% extension of the most recent advance and the 38.2% retracement of the decline off the record highs. A breach / close above this threshodl would be needed to shift the focus higher again towards 23.6189. Critical support steady at 22.0376/1503 – weakness beyond this level would mark resumption of the broader downtrend.

Notes: A closer look at Peso price action shows USD/MXN trading within the confines of an ascending pitchfork formation extending off the July lows. A breakout & retest of the late-June trendline fueled a rally into confluence resistance today at the 61.8% extension / 25% parallel at 22.7160. Weekly open support now 22.5418 with near-term bullish invalidation set to 22.4005/4378. A breach higher from here keeps the focus on 22.8176 backed by 22.6973-23.0007.
