USD/CNH Price Analysis: Wednesday's Doji signals downtrend exhaustion

  • USD/CNH's daily chart indicates the sell-off from May highs has run out of steam. 
  • Technical indicators suggest scope for a corrective bounce. 

USD/CNH is sidelined near 6.83 at press time, having created a Doji candle on Wednesday. 

A Doji is usually considered a sign of indecision in the market place. However, in this case, the candlestick has appeared following a notable sell-off from 7.19 to 6.81 and indicates seller exhaustion. 

Wednesday's Doji has also validated oversold readings on the 14-day relative strength index and the stochastic indicator. 

As such, the pair could bounce to the 10-day simple moving average (SMA), currently at 6.8690. On the downside, the Sept. 1 low of 6.81 is the level to beat for the bears.
