More than a three-month retreat of the U.S. Dollar against the Russian Ruble now is developing inside a 89-bar long channel down pattern. The formation originated early June and pushed the pair to a five-month low of 33.54 a few days earlier.
Currently, USD/RUB is meandering just below the 50-bar SMA at 33.99 and according to the SWFX sentiment, the pair is unlikely to overcome this resistance. The SWFX data unveils almost 80% of market players are bearish on the pair, suggesting that the likelihood of the instrument extending its losing streak in the foreseeable future is high.
