Asian Currencies

The USD/THB currency pair gained 2 percent this past week, with the USD soaring against the latter. Prices confirmed a breakout above the 36.738 – 36.949 resistance zone, opening the door to extending gains.

Prices broke above the 61.8% Fibonacci extension at 58.4106, exposing the 78.6% level at 59.3106. The latter is immediate resistance. Extending gains beyond that would open the door to facing the 100% level at 60.457

The strength of the USD against the Indonesian Rupiah was somewhat tamed. Although, the USD/IDR also scaled high, closing last week above the July peak at 15030. Confirmation of the breakout was lacking at the time of last week’s close. Extending gains place the focus on the 78.6% Fibonacci extension at 15145.53.
