USD/MXN seems to be consolidating within the September range after closing below the 50-Day SMA (19.4039) for the first time since May, but the exchange rate may struggle to retain the advance from the monthly low (19.1112) as it carves a series of lower highs and lows.
USD/MXN may no longer reflect the bullish trend from earlier this year amid the flattening slope in the moving average, with a close below 19.1470 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) opening up 18.8560 (50% Fibonacci extension).
At the same time, USD/MXN may track sideways if it continues to hold above the September low (19.0663) but need a break/close above the 19.5620 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to 19.6280 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region to bring the monthly high (19.8310) on the radar.
