• A break above 22.95 (55-day SMA) would clear the way toward 23.20.

The USD/MXN is trading unchanged at 22.60. Earlier it spiked down to 22.53 and then bounced to 22.75. It is moving with a modest bearish bias in the short-term but overall it continues to move in a range between 22.20 and 22.95. Late in July rose above 23.00 but it was rejected and pulled back.

The critical support is 22.20 that if broken would see the bearish pressure intensified, leading to a test of 22.00. On the upside, 22.75 and 22.80 are the immediate resistances that protect 22.90.
