AUD/USD Technical Analysis: On the bids beyond 200-day SMA

AUD/USD trades positive for the second consecutive day, towards 21-day SMA.
50% Fibonacci retracement and ascending trend line since early-October cap near-term declines.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

AUD/USD takes the bids to 0.6911 during the early Monday. In doing so, the pair extends recovery gains beyond 200-day SMA, which in turn pushes buyers towards a 21-day SMA level of 0.6925.

Even so, highs marked in October and December months around 0.6930/40 will restrict pair’s further upside, if not then 0.7000 will offer an intermediate halt during the run-up to the monthly top around 0.7040.

Meanwhile, pair’s declines below 200-day SMA Level of 0.6890 can fetch the quote to 50% Fibonacci retracement of October-December upside, at 0.6856.

It’s worth mentioning that the pair’s downside below 0.6856 will be challenged by an upward sloping trend line since early-October, at 0.6815.

EUR/USD pops to yearly highs near 1.1770

EUR/USD rapidly reverses course and hits fresh YTD tops near 1.1780 at the end of the week. The pair’s U-turn comes on the back of the intense sell-off in the Greenback amid the generalised risk-on context.

GBP/USD is building on its solid weekly advance and is pushing toward the 1.3600 hurdle on Friday, or new four-month peaks. Cable’s strong move higher comes as the Greenback intensifies its decline, while auspicious results on the UK calendar also collaborate with the uptrend.

Gold picks up pace, approaches $5,000
