Societe Generale analysts reports USD/BRL has been rebounding from an interim low near 4.88 and is approaching the 200-DMA and a descending trend line around 5.25. They stress the need to see if a base and trend reversal can form, with resistance at 5.32/5.34 and downside risk if 4.99 fails.

Rebound tests major technical barriers

"USD/BRL has staged a steady rebound after carving out an interim low around 4.88 last month. It is now inching toward the confluence of the 200-DMA and a multi-month descending trend line near 5.25."

"It will be important to monitor whether the pair can form a base and gradually transition into a trend reversal. The March high around 5.32/5.34 is likely to act as a key resistance zone."

"There would be a risk of resumption in downtrend if the pair fails to defend the recent pivot low around 4.99."
