- Aussie catches a renewed bid-wave as markets continue to digest strong business confidence data out of Australia.
- Data released earlier today showed Australia business conditions index jumped 5 points, to +14 index points, its highest level since the Global Financial Crisis.
- Business confidence, however, fell 1 point, below the peaks of recent years to 6 points.
- AUD/CHF finds strong support by daily cloud base at 0.7538, edges higher to currently trade at 0.7570.
- Upside remains capped at 5-DMA at 0.7576 and finds stiff resistance by 100-DMA at 0.7574.
- Only close above 100-DMA could see upside. While on the flipside, break below cloud will accentuate weakness.
- Technical studies are bearish, break below daily cloud raises scope for test of 200-DMA at 0.7504.
- Violation at 200-DMA to see test of 0.7475 and then 0.7435 (Nov 11 low).
Support levels - 0.7538 (cloud base), 0.7504 (200-DMA), 0.7475 (Mar 27 low), 0.7435 (Nov 11, 2016 low)
Resistance levels - 0.7576 (5-DMA), 0.76, 0.7610 (20-DMA), 0.7634 (April 5 high)
