The Chinese yuan continues to see gains against the US dollarThe Chinese yuan continues to see gains against the US dollar this Wednesday. Although yesterday the buck appeared like it’s forcing a recovery, there are more fundamental factors supporting the Chinese yuan’s case. The pair will likely reach its support levels this July thanks to the positive sentiment sparked by American investment banking company, Goldman Sachs. Just recently, it was reported that the bank sees the Chinese yuan strengthening further against the beloved US dollar in the next twelve months. According to the bank’s strategists, the Chinese yuan will primarily rally thanks to the recovery of the Chinese economy’s health. It’s no new news that China, where the outbreak started, has very few existing cases as of writing. That comes in contrast to the number of cases seen in the United States. Aside from that, the economic recovery of some of China’s biggest trading partners is helping the yuan power through.

USDCNH | WEEKLY FORECASTThe Yuan has been on the rise since the beginning of June 2020 and it does not appear that there will be a "slow-down" in the following week as the Greenback continues to depreciate.
Tendency: Downtrend ( Bearish )
Structure: Breakdown | Descending Triangle | Support & Resistance
Observation: i. A structure depicted by drawing one trend line that connects a series of lower highs and a second horizontal trend line that connects a series of lows confirms our Descending Triangle .
ii. This pattern clearly explains that the Demand for the USD is weakening;
iii . As we anticipate price to break below our lower support @ 7.05000 (a psychological level) indicating downside momentum will become stronger in the following week(s).
iii . In as much that we shall be wary of false Breakdowns at the lower support, we shall eye a further Breakdown of Daily chart Trendline with engulfing candles as comfort .
iv. Please note that as the price keeps putting pressure on the 1st Key level throughout last week, a Breakdown of this level might be a zone to initiate sell order for quick gains.
Trading plan: SELL confirmation with a minimum potential profit of 450 pips.

Chinese fight backThe resistance zone has worked well, and the rising wedge broke down definitely. Now a clear sideways movement is ongoing, so sooner or later the next downside pressure should come and lead the price below the rising trendlines.
Next target lies at 7, 6.85, 6.7 but I forecast more Yuan strengthening to 6.3.
Any trading above 7.2 will open the door in front of the USD bulls and further rising should come.
The US dollar was seen sliding against the Chinese yuanEarlier this week, the US dollar was seen sliding against the Chinese yuan thanks to the upbeat results from mainland China’s economy. Unfortunately for the Chinese yuan, it wasn’t able to hold on to its gains in the sessions thanks to the recent news about rate cuts from the People’s Bank of China. The pair is now projected to rally towards resistance level in the coming sessions, a feat that should bolster the 50-day moving average against the 200-day moving average. Earlier this week, the Chinese manufacturing PMI from June showed a gradual improvement from 50.6% to about 50.9%, topping projections of about 5.4%. Aside from that, the Caixin manufacturing PMI for June also showed an increase in the private manufacturing sector from 50.7% to about 51.2%. the main source of the yuan’s weakness is the decision of the PBOC to set its midpoint rate earlier today, giving room for bullish investors to thrive in the trading sessions.
USD CNH - Escalation of Tensions !Relationships between the U.S and China have been deteriorating at a really fast pace since the begging of the Trade War between both countries back in 2018, where hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes over nationals goods, were exchanged. Despite the escalation of tensions, Trump's primary goal was to try to please the agricultural sector, since the farmer's states integrate a meaningful part of its electorate, so aiming re-election the promise of China in boosting its purchases of U.S agricultural goods served Trump needs.
However, the disastrous response of Trump to the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S and other domestic crises has put its chances of re-election in jeopardy. With almost 3 million cases confirmed and more than 130,000 American lives ended, plus the massive riots across the country due to the murder of George Floyd by cops and the economic crisis that is hitting the country with an unemployment rate of 13.3%. A context that has been causing the growth of the dissatisfaction of the population with the state of the country, such discontentment is already appearing on the recent polls that put the Democrat candidate Joe Biden in a 10 points lead over Trump.
With the risk of losing re-election, Trump might use the oldest trick of the book of governors that want to unify the country and take the focus off its own failures, create a common enemy. In this case, China its the perfect fit, since the country was the first to report the new Coronavirus and has been moving to curb Hong Kong autonomy through the new security law. So Trump can target China first by blaming the country over the pandemic, and retaliating in defense of Hong Kong democracy, placing then meaningful sanctions and increasing the friction between both countries.
Looking at the monthly chart, the US Dollar Chinese Yuan Offshore is in a very intrigue spot now since the price is moving accordingly to the Elliott Wave rules so far, with a Wave 3 in process of formation. After the price confirmed a Wave 2 due to the retracement of near 76.4% of Wave 1, the CNH managed to surpass the top of Wave 1 confirming a possible Wave 3 that has the following targets based on the rules that determine the extension of this wave:
Targets:
1) 7.80869 - 161.8% of wave 1-2
2) 8.18008 - 200% of wave 1-2
3) 8.78091 - 261.8% of wave 1-2
4) 9.38174 - 323.6% of wave 1-2
This context shows us the possibilities of this new large impulse movement of the USD CNH been the reflection of the rasing of tensions between China and the U.S, as China will fight to increase the yuan relevance on the market as the U.S will try to undermine China influence on the global economy.
