Key Quotes
24-hour view: “We highlighted last Friday that “a test of the major 0.7630 support would not be surprising but 0.7600 is unlikely to be seriously challenged”. AUD dipped to a low of 0.7625 before rebounding quickly. Downward momentum has eased and the current price action is viewed as part of a consolidation phase. In other words, sideways trading is expected for today, likely between 0.7640 and 0.7700”.
Next 1-3 weeks: “The 0.7630 target that was first highlighted last Thursday was exceeded as AUD dipped to a low 0.7625 during NY hours on Friday. Downward momentum has eased somewhat with the rapid rebound from the low but it is too early to expect a short-term bottom. The outlook for AUD is deemed as bearish until 0.7735 is taken out (stop-loss adjusted lower from 0.7755). Until then, another down-leg towards 0.7560 is not ruled out even though the odds for such a move are not that high”.
