Key Quotes
“The style/scale of rebounds is critical. A close above 0.7650 would temper current bias for limited corrective bounces prior to another leg lower (to 0.7325-50).”
“Weekly
- Weekly momentum has pulled back to levels which defined range support over the past two years. This raises the risk that a potential base may develop
- Despite risk that range affirming may be in play, if near term rebounds falter, price “patterns” could quickly swing towards another/extending slide towards 0.7200.”
“Monthly
Monthly momentum has a more neutral to cautious tone for AUD. Though it should be noted that RSI’s have not yet broken lower, the downside is favoured
A spike to retest the 0.7150-0.7200 area could develop without altering the longer term bias for a continued broad consolidation forming since early 2016.”
