USDCNH rebounded sharply from 6.4412 after several months of steady decline, facing a major resistance trend line on its daily chart now at around 6.6060.

The trend line would act as the key resistance for the bearish movement from 6.8588. As long as the prices are below the trend line, the downside movement could be expected to continue, and another fall towards 6.3860 is still possible. At the same time, an upside break through the trend line could indicate that the bearish move had completed at 6.4412 already.

On the 4-hour chart, there is an ascending trend line now at 6.5400. As long as the trend line support holds, the short term uptrend from 6.4412 could be expected to continue, and a break through the 6.6060 resistance could take price to the support-turned-resistance level at 6.7210. On the downside, a breakdown below the trend line support could bring price back towards 6.4412. Below 6.4412 support could suggest that the downtrend from 6.8588 has resumed, then next target would be at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement taken from 6.0152 to 6.9867 at around 6.3860.
