South Korean Won: Breakout against US Dollar approaches – Societe Generale

1349/1353 marks a key resistance zone for USD/KRW. Societe Generale analysts identify this area as the upper edge of the pair’s narrow base, alongside the 50-day moving average. After establishing an interim low near 1320, the pair has rebounded within that base. A sustained break above resistance would confirm a larger recovery. Failure to defend recent lows, however, could bring a resumption of the broader downtrend.
