FxWirePro: AUD/CAD breaks major trendline resistance at 1.0175, intraday bias higher

  • AUD/CAD has broken major trendline resistance at 1.0175, bias higher.
     
  • We have seen a decisive break above 5-DMA which was capping upside from the past few sessions.
     
  • Bearish divergence on RSI still keeps possibility for downside in the pair. 
     
  • Break below 20-DMA will confirm bearishness. Scope then for test of 100-DMA at 0.9984.
     
  • Australia unemployment report due Thursday, 16th March will be the main driver for the pair.
     
  • Focus also on oil price movements. U.S. oil which has slipped below $49 mark for the first time since Jan 2017 keeps downside pressure on CAD.
     
  • Violation at 100-DMA finds next major support at daily cloud by 0.9925.

Support levels - 1.0163 (5-DMA), 1.0121 (20-DMA), 1.010 (23.6% Fib retrace of 0.96439 to 1.02537 rally)
