Surprising RBA decision to cut rates on Tuesday made the market tumble. It is clear that RBA is not happy with the current AUD rate so it wants its currency to be weaker. Investors should probably look to exit from any longs and based on RBA decision the bias should turn to the downside again. Remember AUDUSD is correlated to ASX200 index so pay attention to it too.
Technically the AUDUSD shows a Momentum Candle that I have been explaining on webinars and on Live Forex Expo seminar in London. Sheer momentum trading could give you huge profits. At this point price is trying to break 0.7465 and if we see H1 momentum break or 4h close below the level 0.7390 should be the target. Positional trades should come in play on a retracement towards POC. 0.7550-70 is POC zone (inner trend line, 38.2, L3, EMA89) and the price could retest the zone for next positional short trade. In that case targets are 0.7465 and IF it breaks 0.7388.
The analysis and the article presents Nenad's opinion. Remember, financial trading is highly speculative & may lead to the loss of your funds. Proper risk management is the Holy Grail of trading.
