AUD/USD Price Analysis: Mildly offered around 0.7350 inside short-term EMA envelope

AUD/USD holds lower ground inside weekly trading range.
20-day, 50-day EMA restricts immediate moves, 100-day EMA adds to the upside filters.
Steady RSI suggests further grinding but a three-week-old trend line break keeps sellers hopeful.

AUD/USD remains on the back foot around 0.7360, down 0.09% intraday, during early Tuesday.

The Aussie pair dropped to the September-start lows the previous day before bouncing off 0.7355. In doing so, the quote keeps the short-term trading range between 20-day and 50-day EMA.

In addition to the 20-day and 50-day EMA levels, respectively around 0.7385 and 0.7350, steady RSI conditions also signal a lack of momentum.

However, the pair’s sustained trading below 100-day EMA, around 0.7460 by the press time, as well as the last week’s downside break of an ascending trend line from August 20, keeps the AUD/USD sellers hopeful.

Hence, sellers await a downside break of the 20-day EMA level of 0.7350 to aim for 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the May-August downside, near 0.7290.

Following that, 0.7230 and 0.7160 may challenge AUD/USD bears before directing them to the yearly low near 0.7130.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP bulls defend $1.20 as sell-side pressure triggers liquidations

BoJ recap: A pause for now... but Japan has entered a new inflation phase

The Bank of Japan left its short-term policy rate unchanged at 1.25% but delivered a distinctly hawkish message on the risk of an inflation overshoot. The decision passed by 8-1, with board member Takata dissenting in favour of an increase to 1.5%, while Governor Kazuo Ueda stressed that the Bank would continue adjusting policy as needed.

The 2% inflation target came from a throwaway remark. It now moves trillions

The Federal Reserve's 2% inflation goal grew out of an off-the-cuff remark by a New Zealand politician in 1988. Bond investors still price long-term US debt as if 2% holds, so a change in how the Fed measures inflation would move markets.
