AUD/USD

The Australian dollar rallies on strong risk mode on Tuesday and hit the highest since 10 Mar.
Extension above former high (0.6616) is pressuring 200DMA (0.6656), with break here to generate bullish signal for continuation of uptrend from 0.5509 (19 Mar spike low). Strong bullish momentum is accompanied by multiple bull-crosses (5/100; 10/100; 20/100DMA's) as well as weekly Tenkan-sen/Kijun-sen bull-cross.
Bullish sentiment on hopes of stronger recovery on re-opening of global economies deflated safe-haven US dollar, underpinning the rise of its counterparts.
Bulls look for close above 200DMA and 0.6672/84 (Fibo 76.4% of 0.7032/0.5509/9 Mar high) to spark fresh acceleration higher and expose next key barrier at 0.6848 (weekly cloud base).
Immediate support lays at 0.6616, followed by broken 5DMA (0.6576) and rising 10DMA (0.6526) which tracks the advance since late March.

Res: 0.6656; 0.6672; 0.6684; 0.6750
Sup: 0.6616; 0.6576; 0.6526; 0.6506

EUR/USD turns negative near 1.1850

EUR/USD has given up its earlier intraday gains on Thursday and is now struggling to hold above the 1.1850 area. The US Dollar is finding renewed support from a pick-up in risk aversion, while fresh market chatter suggesting Russia could be considering a return to the US Dollar system is also lending the Greenback an extra boost.

GBP/USD change course, nears 1.3600

GBP/USD gives away its daily gains and recedes toward the low-1.3600s on Thursday. Indeed, Cable now struggles to regain some upside traction on the back of the sudden bout of buying interest in the Greenback. In the meantime, investors continue to assess a string of underwhelming UK data releases released earlier in the day.
