AUD/USD Price Analysis: Hurdles 200-DMA and turns bullish, eyeing 0.6600

AUD/USD gains 0.34% on positive sentiment, defying a negative housing market report impact.
Neutral bias with an upside tilt; breach of 200-DMA at 0.6579 may target 0.6600 and 0.6639.
Downside risks include 200-DMA at 0.6579 and the January 17 low of 0.6523 before testing 0.6500.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) registers solid gains from the US Dollar (USD) amid an upbeat market mood following the release of an improvement in consumer sentiment and a bad housing market report. At the time of writing, the AUD/USD exchanges hands at 0.6373, gains 0.34%.

The daily chart portrays the pair as neutral biased, though tilted to the upside, after breaking above the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6579. Further upside is seen at 0.6600, followed by the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 0.6639. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the January 12 cycle high at turned resistance at 0.6728.

For a bearish resumption, AUD/USD first support would be the 200-DMA at 0.6579, followed by the January 17 daily low of 0.6523. A drop below that level, and sellers could challenge the 0.6500 figure

GBP/USD holds above 1.3450 despite Mideast uncertainty

GBP/USD trades flat on the day above 1.3450 following the bearish action seen in the early European session on Thursday.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
