Mexican Peso capitalized on weaker-than-expected US economic output, uptick in risk appetite.

Technical analysis: Mexican Peso counterattacks as USD/MXN tumbles below 200-day SMA The Mexican Peso regained its previous strength as shown by the USD/MXN edging below the 200-day Simple Moving Average at 17.16, opening the door to challenge the 17.00 figure. If sellers push the exchange rate below the latter, they could test the 100-day SMA at 16.96. A breach of the latter will expose the 50-day SMA at 16.81. On the other hand, buyers need to conquer the 200-day SMA at 17.16.
