In the 4 hours chart the 20 SMA is losing its upward slope, but below the current price, whilst the technical indicators turned lower above their mid-lines, keeping the risk towards the downside.

There market seems eager to take some profits out of the table ahead of several critical macroeconomic readings later on in this week, including the FOMC economic meeting this Wednesday.

In the 4 hours chart the 20 SMA offers immediate support around 1.5090, whilst the technical indicators correct lower from overbought levels, supporting at least a test of the mentioned support. Should the pair break below it, the downside is favored towards the 1.5050 price zone.

The pair however, found short term selling interest in the 119.40 region, 38.2$ retracement of the latest daily decline. The 1 hour hart shows that the price is battling around its 200 SMA whilst the 100 SMA stands as key resistance around 119.55, and the technical indicators lose their upward strength near overbought levels. In the 4 hours chart indicators are turning lower well into negative territory, all of which should keep the upside limited, and favor additional declines on a break below the 119.00 level.

Resistance levels: 119.50 120.00 120.40

The Australian dollar trades around its daily opening against its American rival, having flirted with the critical resistance level around 0.7840 during Asian hours. The pair however, maintains a neutral technical stance, with the 1 hour chart showing that the price stands below a flat 20 SMA and that the technical indicators hover around their mid-lines, lacking directional strength. In the 4 hours chart the pair presents a mild positive tone, as the 20 SMA heads slightly higher around 0.7780, whilst the technical indicators hold above their mid-lines, albeit lacking directional strength. There should be large stops above the 0.7840 level, as the price has stalled several times around it during these last few weeks, meaning it will take a clear break above it to see the pair advancing towards the 0.7900 level.
Support levels: 0.7780 0.7750 0.7705
Resistance levels: 0.7840 0.7890 0.7940
