• Developments in the United States and the performance of the US Dollar continue to be significant factors influencing the USD/MXN exchange rate. 
• The USD/MXN has dropped to its lowest point in seven months, driven by a resurgence of weakness in the US Dollar.

The Mexican Peso (MXN) is strengthening against the US Dollar (USD) and hits a fresh year-to-date high on Tuesday as markets turn cautious ahead of Wednesday’s House vote on President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Mexican Peso technical analysis: Peso holds gains as USD/MXN consolidates between key levels

The USD/MXN has dropped to its lowest level since October, breaking through the previous psychological support level, which has now turned into resistance at 19.30. 

Currently, prices are below the descending trendline established during the decline in April. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator at 36.19 shows an increase in bearish momentum. Since the 30 mark is considered a potential oversold territory, the bearish trend remains intact, with the next key support level at the round number of 19.20. 

USD/MXN daily chart

If prices fall below 19.20, it could open the door to the October low of around 19.11, paving the way towards the 19.00 mark. 

On the other hand, if USD strength resurges and prices rise above the descending trendline, USD/XN could see a retest of the April low near 19.47, bringing the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) into play at 19.53.
