- USD/MXN seesaws inside a short-term triangle formation.
- Banxico is widely anticipated to announce another rate cut to 5.5%.
- A three-week-old falling trend line adds to the upside barriers.
- A downside break of the triangle can refresh monthly low.
USD/MXN takes rounds to 24.25, up 0.08% on a day, as Tokyo opens for trading on Thursday. That said, the pair has been trading in a week-long triangle, while also keeping below a short-term falling trend line resistance, ahead of the Mexican central bank’s interest rate decision, up at 18:00 GMT.
The Banxico is expected to roll out another rate cut while considering the need to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19). In doing so, it can drag the benchmark rate down to 5.5%, per market consensus.

Technically, a falling trend line from April 24, currently near 24.30, acts as the immediate resistance ahead of the said triangle’s upper line, at 24.40 now.
In a case where the Banxico manages to trigger more weakness of the Mexican peso beyond 24.40, the monthly top surrounding 24.90 and late-April highs near 25.30 will be on the bulls’ radars.
On the contrary, a downside break of the triangle’s support line, currently near 24.00, will challenge the monthly low close to 23.55.
