In the last years, the renminbi made a pause in his attempt to get stronger against USD dollar. In February 2014, renminbi found support at 6.0153 and from there it made a perfect zig – zag correction structure to equal legs at 7.1964 in June 2020. After that, the USDCNH continue with the downtrend.
Renminbi July 2022 Weekly Chart
This zig zag structure took place as wave ((IV)), telling us that the renminbi should appreciate against the USD in long term. In June 2020, the pair dropped again possibly making a leading diagonal, that was the pattern we drew in the chart. If that structure played out we should see a bounce before continue with downtrend. Only a break lower of 6.3052 level will confirm that wave (II) is completed and the bearish trend will continue. After a year, the structure did not play out and the market broke above June 2020 high beginning a double correction structure.
