Technical outlook:
USDZAR has been trading sideways for the last two trading sessions as prices are oscillating within a tight range between 15.8200 and 15.9200. The currency pair is seen to be trading close to 15.8410 at this point in writing and is expected to push through the 17.0800-1000 area in the next several trading sessions.
USDZAR has been developing a larger-degree counter-trend rally since January 2021 after printing lows around 13.3700 as marked on the daily chart here. The currency has terminated its first and second waves with the corrective phase around 16.3600 and 14.4000. If the above structure holds well, we should see prices stay above 14.4000 and push through the 17.0800 highs.
USDZAR is within its last leg rally since the 14.4000 lows and has potentially carved a higher low at around 15.1600 in the past few trading sessions. Bulls should remain poised to push prices towards 17.0800 at least until an interim low at around 15.1600 remains intact. Traders might be preparing to hold long positions against 15.1600 for now.
Trading plan:
Potential rally towards 17.0800 mark against 15.1600
Good luck!
