FxWirePro: AUD/USD breaks below major EMAs, eyes channel base at 0.7450

  • AUD/USD is trading in a narrow range in the Asian session today, bias remains bearish.
     
  • The major has broken below major exponential moving averages and we see scope for further downside.
     
  • Upbeat US GDP data along with receding tensions between US and China over trade tariffs is also supporting the US dollar.
     
  • US GDP exceeded expectations, came in at 2.7% versus 2.9% forecasted by analysts. 
     
  • Further, the PCE Index, preferred by the Federal Reserve, came in line with expectations at 2.9% for the fourth quarter of 2017.
     
  • AUD/USD is trading in a rising channel on weekly charts and weakness in technical indicators raises scope for test of channel base at 0.7450.
     
  • Next major support on the downside is seen at major trendline at 0.7620. Break below will see further downside.
     
  • On the flipside, breakout above 5-DMA will see test of 20-DMA at 0.7761. Violation at 200-DMA (0.7807) invalidates bearish bias. 

Support levels - 0.7620 (trendline), 0.76, 0.7532 (Nov 21 low), 0.75, 0.7450 (channel base)

Resistance levels - 0.7690 (5-DMA), 0.7761 (20-DMA), 0.7807 (200-DMA)
