Looking lately at the Peso/Dollar relationship, it has seemed as if the high prices for the dollar are here to stay and the super peso has come to past. It was surprising to see that the upward trend that price was on broke. However, price as of lately has been struggling to push downwards. This is because of the 25MA is acting as support on the daily chart. Additionally, seeing the 25MA acting as resistance in the monthly chart put this trade in an uncomfortable situation. Mainly because even though there is an uptrend in important time frames, this trend is being tested on a way larger time frame.
On the other hand, the movement that brought price to these levels was very solid and has a lot of support under it. Considering 18.00 pesos per dollar to be quite a good deal, I would believe that many more people will see it this way and would rather be investing in dollars. In conjunction with the main Mexican index ME which has failed to recover from the down movement caused by the victory of the newly elected Mexican president. It's officially been a month since the index hasn't been able to break above the 25MA. If price fails to create an uptrend soon, this could lead to another 8% fall in the Index. This would create great buying opportunities in the Mexican market but could also cause investors to panic.
Waiting to see if Mexico is in the verge of collapse makes me think that dominoes may be starting to fall. Meaning there could be something much more serious lurking under the water. This in combination with the high risk that the USA will enter a crisis makes me believe that if price of Mexican stocks doesn't begin to turn around, we could be on the verge of a new recession. The USA still seems to have some fuel left in the tank, which could help the Mexican index recover, as also the recent rainfall has been a blessing for many communities that were affected by the severe droughts all over the country.
Meaning there is a possibility that Mexico will recover, but if it doesn't then this should be a red sign for the USA as your market is overextending. Meaning, if USA enters intro euphoria and Mexico into crisis, then we would have a severe economic divergence in two countries which economies are interconnected. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
Trade active
Even though the dollar and DXY has been decreasing, the recent news of positive inflation data leading the fed to consider a rate cut just comes to prove what I've been saying all along. The best chance democrats have for winning the elections is to enter into a bubble. Make the market get so excited that it would weaken Trump's attempt at the election. Lower interest rates will excite the markets as fixed yielding instruments will become less attractive. Causing a new wave of people to ride along in the bull market. Just to be met with a predictable demise. History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme
