#BRICS currencies movement for the Week - 22Feb19
Fairly stable week for most BRICS #currencies, thanks to some USD weakness. #SouthAfrica recovering some of last weeks losses. #BRICS currency/USD movements for this week:
Brazil -1.3%
Russia +1.4%
India +0.4%
China +0.9%
South Africa +0.5%
Euro/USD +0.4%
I must admit that the one currency that is looking mighty interesting technically this week, is the Brazilian Real. At 0.2664/USD it is not only finding itself close to the 50-day moving average at 0.2652/USD, but also at a nice little trend resistance line. A bounce off these levels could see us test the short-term highs made in both January this year and October 2018 – target 0.2744/USD. Should the current resistance break, traders should watch the 200-day moving average at 0.2608/USD as first target/stop.
