Aussie continued higher towards 0.7260 during past week’s trading. After reaching a major resistance at 0.7260, it collapsed and closed the week at 0.7130. This was mainly due to a positive data out of US market last Friday.
At daily charts AUDUSD printed a massive engulfing candle closing below the previous four sessions. This is a good bearish signal. Stochastics are overbought and favour short setups.
Looking at lower time frames, Aussie failed to climb above the recent high of 0.7260 and formed double top. After rejecting the resistance, it closed below the recent higher high (marked 5 at the chart below).
This is an indication of more downwards pressure.
Last night AUD missed Building Approvals by a long shot. This could set the negative tone for the rest of the week.
We saw AUDUSD pulled back from the support towards 0.7160, this is a good point for bears.
