Notes: In my final AUD/USD Weekly Technical Forecast we famous that AUD/USD was, “testing downtrend support on building momentum divergence for nearly four weeks now and the immediate short-bias may be vulnerable while above the lower parallel. From at trading standpoint, rallies should be capped by 7000 IF price is still heading lower on this stretch…” Aussie turned sharply off development help with a two-week rally now testing key resistance at 6991- 7016– a area outlined by the November 2020 swing low, the target 2020 yearly open, the 2021 lows and the January low-week shut. We’re on the lookout for worth inflection into this zone.
A topside breach / weekly shut above could be wanted to recommend a bigger correction is underway right here with such a situation exposing the 38.2% retracement / May high-week shut / 52-week shifting common at 7188-7207. Support now rests with the low-week shut at 6792 – notice {that a} break / shut under this threshold may threaten one other accelerated decline for the Aussie with preliminary help targets eyed on the 2008 low-week shut / 2019 low at 6660/70 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of all the 2020 rally at 6461.
Bottom line: A rebound off downtrend help takes AUD/USD into the primary main downtrend resistance zone – on the lookout for attainable worth inflection up right here. From a buying and selling standpoint, an excellent zone to cut back short-exposure / elevate protecting stops – watch the weekly / month-to-month shut with respect to 6991-7016 for steerage. I’ll publish an up to date Australian Dollar Price Outlook as soon as we get additional readability on the near-term AUD/USD technical trade ranges.
