USD/RUB Technical Analysis: Short-term bearish reversal confirmed

• The USD/RUB pair created a large spinning top on Monday and posted a negative follow-through yesterday, confirming a short-term bullish-to-bearish trend change. As a result, the 10-day moving average (MA) support of 65.92 could be put to test.
• It appears the relief rally in Turkish lira is likely helping the Russian Rouble (RUB) score gains against the greenback.
• However, the downside in USD/RUB could be limited as the relief rally in the TRY could be short-lived, given the TRY put value is holding near record highs.
