Current price movements are likely part of a consolidation range

24-HOUR VIEW: "Yesterday, we noted 'a slight increase in downward momentum,' and we expected USD to 'edge lower.' However, we pointed out, 'the major support at 7.2100 is unlikely to come under threat (there is another support level at 7.2200).' USD declined less than expected, reaching a low of 7.2253. There has been no further increase downward momentum. Today, we expect USD to trade between 7.2200 and 7.2430."
