USD/HKD may fall 36 - 52 pips

Our pivot point is at 7.8159.

Our preference

The downside prevails as long as 7.8159 is resistance.

Alternative scenario

Above 7.8159, look for 7.8185 and 7.8201.

Comment

The RSI is trading below 30. This could mean that either the pair is in a lasting downtrend or just oversold and that therefore a rebound could shape (look for bullish divergence in this case). The MACD is below its signal line and negative. The configuration is negative. Moreover, the price is trading under both its 20 and 50 period moving average (respectively at 7.8177 and 7.8190). Finally, the USD/HKD has penetrated its lower Bollinger band (7.8140).
