The US dollar is currently seen working hard to force the Brazilian real past its initial resistance level this Tuesday. The trading pair has been awfully bullish in the past few weeks despite the major stumbles of the US dollar. Prices are on track to climb towards their higher resistance level, reaching ranges last seen in May 2020. The surge should help the bullish investors maintain their dominance, buoying the 50-day moving average further against the 200-day moving average. The US dollar has gained traction as investors tune in closely on the trade tensions between the United States and China and the stalemate in the US Congress over the massive fiscal stimulus. Just yesterday, the White House and US Congressional leaders expressed their interest to resume their discussions on a stimulus program that would save the US economy. Meanwhile, Beijing ordered sanctions on some US Republican lawmakers, intensifying the tension between the two parties.
