USD/THB dropped sharply to low of 34.58 last Wednesday before ending the week on a weak note at 34.85 (-1.32%). Downward momentum has increased, albeit not much.

This week, as long as USD/THB stays below 35.22 (minor resistance is at 35.00), it could dip below 34.58 before a more sustained rebound is likely. The major support at 34.08 is unlikely to come under threat.
