USD/KRW Breaks 1520 Support, Extending Reversal From 1560 High

2 articles · Updated · continuumeconomics.com · Jun 9

Summary

  • USD/KRW fell through the 1520.00 May-high support after reversing from last week's 1560.00 year-to-date peak, signaling the pullback is deepening.
  • The drop already cleared 1537.00 support, and analysts say the break leaves room for a retracement toward 1510.00 and 1500.00 congestion levels.
  • Oversold intraday signals suggest near-term consolidation, but the broader bias still points lower after the pair's sharp rally from the 1440.00 May low.
  • Resistance has been lowered to 1537.00, with that former support now expected to cap rebounds and keep pressure on the pair after its failed push near June 2025 channel resistance.
