AUD/USD outlook: Hits six-month low after break of key supports

AUD/USD

Australian dollar remains in a steep fall for the third consecutive day, driven by rising US dollar on safe haven buying / hawkish Fed and higher than expected estimation for the US Q1 GDP.

The Aussie fell to the lowest in more than six months against its US counterpart, in extension of Wednesday’s bearish acceleration (down 1.1% for the day), which generated strong bearish signal on close below pivotal supports at 0.6563/47 (2023 low / Fibo 61.8% of 0.6170/0.7156 advance).

Signals still require confirmation on weekly close below these levels which will open way for further retracement of 0.6170/0.7156 rally.

Daily studies are firmly bearish but oversold and warning that investors may soon start to collect profits from 2.1% drop in past three days.

Consolidation should be limited and offer better selling opportunities, while capped under 0.6547/63 zone (former key supports reverted to strong resistances) unless significant changes in fundamentals.

Res: 0.6547; 0.6563; 0.6573; 0.6622.

Sup: 0.6480; 0.6422; 0.6403; 0.6386.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1850 after US data

GBP/USD stays in narrow channel above 1.3550 ahead of FOMC Minutes

GBP/USD holds its ground following Tuesday's slide and moves sideways above 1.3550 midweek.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far.

The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
