UOB strategists see slightly stronger downward momentum in USD/CNH after it eased from a high of 6.6855 to 6.6635, and expect the Dollar to edge lower over the next 24 hours while holding above 6.6530. This favors mild downside for the pair, but the bank itself frames it as range-bound trading with no broad move confirmed unless a close above 6.6855 or below 6.6530 occurs.
