Limited rebound risk as downside dominance continues in near term
Over the next trading days, USD/PEN is expected to move within a range of S/3.401 to S/3.4352. The probability of an upward move remains very low, with further downside seen as significantly more likely. If the pair breaks below the support around S/3.401, an extension of the decline is possible. Conversely, any rebound would depend on a decisive move above the immediate resistance near S/3.437, but prevailing conditions make such a reversal much less likely near term.
Earlier, analysts noted that while USD/PEN exhibited short-term bearish momentum, the longer-term trend remained broadly constructive. The current analysis signals an escalation in bearish pressure, underscoring S/3.401 as the critical support level to monitor for potential downside continuation in the days ahead.
