FxWirePro: AUD/CAD rejected at highs, cloud weighs on upside, good to short rallies

  • AUD/CAD rejected at session highs at 0.9926, slips lower to currently trade at 0.9894.
     
  • Aussie dented after markets were disappointed as Q2 GDP was in line with forecasts.
     
  • Expectations of an upbeat print were built-in following strong current account data released yesterday.
     
  • The pair is trading a 'Symmetric Triangle' pattern and is extending decline after rejection at triangle top.
     
  • 200-DMA at 1.0005 also caps upside, only decisive break above could see bearish invalidation.
     
  • 5 and 20 day MA are sharply biased lower, price action is below daily cloud and major moving averages.
     
  • We see scope for test of 78.6% Fib at 0.9794. Violation there could see test of wedge base at 0.9765.

Support levels - 0.9850 (Sept 4 low), 0.9794 (78.6% Fib of 0.9643 to 1.0345 rally), 0.9765 (wedge base)

Resistance levels - 0.9912 (61.8% Fib), 0.9944 (20-DMA), 0.9990 (wedge top)

Recommendation: Stay short below 5-DMA at 0.9888, SL: 0.9944, TP: 0.9850/ 0.98/ 0.9765.
