Societe Generale technical analysts observe that the USD/ZAR downtrend has stalled after an interim low in January, with the pair capped by its 200-day moving average. A recent pivot high defines a key resistance zone for a larger bounce, while failure to hold the April low could see the broader downtrend reassert itself in coming weeks.
