As per the prior analysis, AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bulls firming to test critical 0.71 the figure that guards a much stronger correction, the price has moved in on a key area on the charts that paths the way to a run towards 0.7250.

AUD/USD prior analysis, H4 chart

It was stated last week that ''the bears tried to take control below the rising wedge, but the bulls firmed at horizontal support and have taken the bears back into the channel. The pull of the M-formation was too much for the bears and the bulls are testing the neckline near the current levels at 0.71 the figure. A break here will leave the bulls in good stead for a break of resistance around 0.7135 and a run of 0.7150 could open the way towards 0.7200 and then the 0.7260s and prior highs.''

The price remains on course as illustrated, respecting the support structures in its pursuit of the price imbalance between recent highs and the May 4 highs at 0.7266. The price would be expected to mitigate this area of imbalance with relative ease.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
