USD is expected to trade in a range

24-HOUR VIEW: "We expected USD to 'trade in a range between 7.1780 and 7.1950' yesterday. USD subsequently traded in a tight range of 7.1824/7.1917 before closing largely unchanged (7.1877, +0.01%). The price action provides no fresh clues, and we continue to expect range trading today, probably between 7.1800 and 7.1950."

1-3 WEEKS VIEW: "Last Thursday (14 Aug, spot at 7.1800), we indicated that 'downward momentum is building, but for a continued decline, USD must first close below 7.1700.' Yesterday (19 Aug, spot at 7.1850), we highlighted that 'the buildup in downward momentum has largely faded.' We expected USD to 'trade in a range of 7.1730/7.2000.' There is no change in our view."
