AUD/USD

The Australian dollar extends steep fall into fourth straight day (down 2.9% from last Friday's 0.7334 high) and falls to 1 1/2 - month low on Wednesday. Strong risk aversion continues to deflate Aussie, with additional negative signals seen from expectations that the RBA will cut interest rate from 0.25% to 0.1% in 6 Oct policy meeting.
Today's acceleration penetrated thick ascending daily cloud (cloud top lays at 0.7155) and dented Fibo support at 0.7095 (50% retracement of 0.6776/ 0.7413), with close below here to open way towards 0.7026/19 (daily cloud base/Fibo 61.8%) and psychological 0.70 support (reinforced by rising 100DMA). Negative scenario is supported by strong bearish configuration of daily techs, weakening weekly studies and formation of bearish engulfing on weekly chart.

Res: 0.7108; 0.7132; 0.7155; 0.7170

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.
