FxWirePro: AUD/CAD breaks 100-DMA at 0.9888, bias higher, stay long

  • Upbeat Australia trade & housing data supports the Aussies higher, AUD/CAD up 0.38% as we write.
     
  • Australia's trade balance widened to AUD 1,745 million in September vs. AUD 1200 million expected.
     
  • Meanwhile, building approvals for September rose 1.5% m/m vs -1.0% expected and 0.4% last.
     
  • The pair has broken above daily cloud and 100-DMA at 0.9888, bias remains bullish. Bulls eye 200-DMA at 0.9999.
     
  • Technical studies support upside on weekly charts. We see bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs which adds scope for upside.
     
  • On the flipside, 20-DMA at 0.9818 is strong support, weakness likely on break below.

Support levels - 0.9888 (100-DMA), 0.9875 (daily cloud), 0.9869 (5-DMA), 0.9833 (23.6% Fib retracement of 1.0345 to 0.9675 fall)
