Medium Term Strategy: Forex Pair of the day

AUD/USD – under pressure

The pair is posting a rebound but stands below the strong horizontal resistance at 0.7530 and remains capped by the 200-days moving average. As a consequence, further weakness is expected with a first target at 0.69 (September bottom) and a second one set at 0.6650. A third target is set at 0.6350 (horizontal support). Only a rebound above the strong horizontal resistance at 0.7530 would turn the outlook to bullish with a first alternative target set at the previous overlap at 0.7805 and a second one set at May top at 0.8165.

Intraday Technical Strategy

AUD/USD Intraday: the downside prevails.

Pivot 0.7220
Our preference Short positions below 0.722 with targets @ 0.718 & 0.715 in extension.
Alternative scenario Above 0.722 look for further upside with 0.724 & 0.726 as targets.
Comment The RSI is bearish and calls for further downside.
