- USD/ZAR briefly pushed above 16.4000 before easing into consolidation around 16.3700, marking a sharp break higher after earlier cautious trading.
- Daily signals now point to scope for another test higher: oversold stochastics are unwinding and the bearish daily tension indicator is flattening.
- 16.6000 is the next resistance focus, while a close above the June 24 high at 16.6750 would turn sentiment positive and open the way toward 16.8000.
- Support has risen to 16.2500, with a close below the April 17 low at 16.1400 needed to revive bearish momentum and expose the 16.0000-16.0170 area.
