AUD/NZD caught in slow grind lower ahead of RBA rate call
|- AUD/NZD drifting into the bottom end after near-term peak at 1.0700.
- RBA due early Tuesday, expected to hold rates steady.
- AUD/NZD tested into its lowest bids since May last week.
The AUD/NZD is caught in a near-term downside drift ahead of Tuesday’s latest showing from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), and the pair is down around seven-tenths of a percent after peaking near the 1.0700 handle last week.
The pair recently dipped into multi-month lows, testing into its lowest bids since last May and dropping into the 1.0590 region, but bullish momentum has drained out of a limited recovery that sees the pair struggling on the bearish side of a descending 200-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA) dropping into 1.0650.
With the AUD/NZD struggling to establish a meaningful recovery, buyers are grasping for a rebound into the 200-day SMA near 1.0800 as daily candles continue to grind into bearish territory in rough sideways action that exposes the pair to rapid drops as the Antipodeans grapple for supremacy.
