AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bulls take on the bears in key correction territory

  • AUD/USD bears are lurking but bulls may not be done yet. 
  • The price has corrected a significant portion of the bearish impulse. 

AUD/USD rallied in a correction on Wednesday and there could be more to come should the markets continue to offload long positions of the greenback into the fixes and month end this week. The following illustrates the bias on a daily time frame into the remaining days and sessions for the month. 

AUD/USD daily chart

The last bearish impulse has seen a significant correction in mid-week trade and there could be more to come if the bulls can stay the course with the 0.6570s eyed. The antipodean currency might start to find support from better-than-expected data of late such as the recent Retail Sales, which showed Australian shoppers were proving resilient to red-hot inflation and rising interest rates. In recent trade, the monthly inflation data has shown a +6.8% Yoy in August and +7.0% YoY for July. However, traders are awaiting the quarterly data that will arrive in late October.

EUR/USD hovers around 1.1700, US Jobless Claims data eyed

EUR/USD is trading in a range around 1.1700 in European trading on Thursday. The pair's upside remains capped by a pause in the US Dollar decline, led by the less hawkish Fed outcome. Markets await the release of the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims report for further trading incentives. 

GBP/USD struggles below 1.3400 ahead of US employment data

GBP/USD stays defensive below 1.3400 in the European session on Thursday, pressured by a modest US Dollar upswing. Nonetheless, the potential downside might be limited after the US Federal Reserve delivered a rate cut at its December policy meeting. Traders brace for the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims report due later in the day. 

Gold bounces off $4,200 neighborhood, down a little amid mixed fundamental cues

Gold recovers slightly from the vicinity of the $4,200 mark, though it sticks to its negative bias through the first half of the European session. The US Dollar attracts some buyers and recovers a part of the previous day's post-FOMC slump to its lowest level since October 24. This fails to assist the commodity in capitalizing on its modest intraday uptick to the weekly high.
