Directional risks hinge on breakout from consolidation range
Over the next two to three days, USD/PEN is expected to fluctuate within the S/3.4314 to S/3.4658 range, which reflects a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The baseline scenario calls for further consolidation inside this corridor. A move above S/3.4588 would trigger a rebound, while a breach below S/3.4314 could confirm a sharper downside extension.
