Summary: For the short term (1 to 10 trading days), the USD/ZAR is attempting a bullish reversal following a consolidation phase. A potential buy/long strategy could be considered if the price holds above prior session highs, but a sell/short strategy is viable if it fails to do so, leading to a retracement. In the medium term (2 to 4 weeks), the currency pair has recently advanced from a sideways consolidation, suggesting potential for further upside if the breakout is sustained. For the long term (5 to 8 weeks), the USD/ZAR lacks a clear directional bias, and a trading strategy should focus on identifying a break of the current range to establish a directional position.
