AUD/USD
AUDUSD remains in red for the eighth consecutive day and fell to the lowest in six weeks in early Wednesday.
Aussie dollar remains under increased pressure from stronger US dollar, falling prices of commodities and concerns about China’s economic growth.
Bears cracked pivotal support at 0.6580 (200DMA / 50% retracement of 0.6362/0.6798) after Tuesday’s close below Fibo 38.2% and break below 100DMA in early Wednesday’s trading.
The price is holding in the middle of thick daily Ichimoku cloud, with formation of daily Tenkan / Kijun-sen bear cross adding to bearish near term outlook.
However, strongly oversold conditions warn that bears may pause for consolidation, with 200DMA producing headwinds and keeping the price action for now.
Corrective upticks should be capped under cloud top (0.6642) to keep bears in play and offer better selling opportunities for fresh push lower and attack at 0.6538/28 targets (daily cloud base / Fibo 61.8%).
Res: 0.6607; 0.6631; 0.6642; 0.6663.
Sup: 0.6580; 0.6538; 0.6528; 0.6465.
