FxWirePro: AUD/USD gains some upside momentum but still strongly bearish

 

  • AUD/USD declined on Tuesday as selloff in global stocks sent investors to safe heaven assets like Japanese yen and Swiss franc.

  • In the upcoming session, Australia will release Westpac Consumer Sentiment, which if negative, may send the pair back to its recent lows near the 0.6975 level.

  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 0.7108 which should limit upside and bring a decline towards lower levels.

  • Technically in the 4 hours chart, the pair has extended its decline below its 20 SMA, whilst the RSI heading south at 46.

  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 0.7176, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 0.7242.

  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 0.7043, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 0.7000.

    Recommendation: Go short around 0.7100, targets 0.7040, 0.6950, SL 0.7200
