Pair breaks triangle support, downtrend persists

"USD/CNH broke below the lower boundary of a descending triangle in November, extending its decline. The pair has reached the 2024 trough at 6.97/6.96, which could act as interim support. Signals of a meaningful rebound are not yet visible."

"Should a short-term recovery materialize, the 50-DMA near 7.06 may limit upside. Failure to hold 6.96 could extend the downtrend toward the next projection at 6.94."
