Technical indicators and fundamentals are lining up for a reasonable rand pull back as per my previous idea. I expect the rand to pull the pair lower onto the 23.6% Fibo retracement rate and psychological rate of 18.00. A break below 18.00 will see the pair fall onto the critical support on the blue 61.8% Fibo retracement rate of 17.84 which coincide with the neckline of the broken upward channel and the black 38.2% Fibo retracement rate.

Fundamentals which are supporting some relief for the battered rand are most notably the easing of the selling pressure on US bonds. The US 10-year yield declined for the past two sessions after touching a high of 3.975% and is currently sitting at 3.865%. This will in turn cause the upward pressure on the dollar (DXY) to lose momentum. Additionally selling pressure on US equity markets are also subsiding. All of these factors are rand positive as it supports risk-on investor sentiment.

Technically on the 4h there is bearish divergence on the RSI while we have a sell signal on the MACD. On the daily, the MACD buy signal is rolling over while the RSI is deep in overbought zones. All of which are rand positive.
