USD/TRY Technical Analysis: 5.98 is the level to beat for the bears

• The USD/TRY charted another lower high as it retreated from the Sept. 18 high of 6.4654, adding credence to the bearish pennant breakdown witnessed on Sept. 12.
• What the bears need now is a break below the Sept. 13 low of 5.98. If confirmed, it would establish a lower price low and open the doors to a deeper drop to 5.68 (Aug. 16 low).
• On the higher side, acceptance above the trendline trending south from the Aug. 13 high and Aug. 30 high would put the bulls back into the driver's seat.
