AUD/USD 4H Chart: Channel Up

AUDUSD

Comment: The Aussie is in a good position to advance against its US counterpart, as AUD/USD has formed a well-defined channel. In addition, the pair is trading above the long-term SMA and above the three-month up-trend. Moreover, most of the four-hour and weekly technical studies are bullish. However, we are likely to see a bearish correction within the pattern before the price starts a new upward wave. In the nearest future AUD/USD is expected to bounce off of the upper boundary of the pattern at 0.7760, while the downside is limited by a cluster of supports between 0.7525 and 0.7500. The counter-argument would be the long-short ratio, as 70% of traders are bulls, meaning the Aussie is strongly overbought.

 

AUD/CAD 1H Chart: Channel Down

AUDCAD

Comment: Our short-term outlook on AUD/CAD is bearish. The currency pair is currently trading near the upper edge of the downward-sloping channel, which implies a decline from 0.9840, while the lower boundary and at the same time the target is 0.9750/40.

As for the longer-term outlook, the bears are highly unlikely to be able to push the rate through demand at 0.97, being that the level implied by the seven-month up-trend, even though the technical indicators in all three presented time-frames are mostly pointing south. Meanwhile, the SWFX traders seem undecided with respect to the Aussie, since 52% of them are holding long and 48% are holding short positions.
