AUD/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0356; (P) 1.0414; (R1) 1.0466; More

With 4 hours MACD crossed above signal line, a temporary low is in place at 1.0314 and intraday bias is turned neutral. Nevertheless, we're still favoring the case that rebound form 0.9926 has completed at 1.0601 already. Hence, we'd expect the current recovery to be limited below 1.0601 and bring another fall. Below 1.0314 will target a test on 0.9926 first. Nevertheless, above 1.0601 will flip bias back to the upside to extend the rebound from 0.9926. But after all, we'd expect strong resistance ahead of 1.1079 to bring reversal to extend the consolidation from 1.1079.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6585

Despite yesterday’s fall to 1.6435, as cable has rebounded after holding above indicated previous support at 1.6421, suggesting further consolidation would take place and recovery to 1.6522 (yesterday’s high) cannot be ruled out, however, as top has been formed at 1.6618, upside should be limited to 1.6585 and bring another decline later. A break of said support would confirm our view that a temporary top has been formed last week, bring retracement of recent upmove to 1.6360/65

Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Buy at 76.45

Despite intra-day rebound to 76.94, the subsequent retreat suggests further consolidation would take place and weakness to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 76.58) is likely, however, if our view that a temporary low formed at 75.94 is correct, reckon downside would be limited to 76.43 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 75.94 to 77.23) and bring another rebound later. A sustained break of said resistance at 77.23 would add credence to this view and bring retracement of recent decline to another previous resistance at 77.86
