FxWirePro: AUD/USD breaks channel top, Aussie boosted by uobeat Q1 GDP data

  • Aussie jumps after the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported a better-than-expected Australia first quarter GDP reading.
     
  • The economy expanded 1 percent quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter, narrowly beating the estimate of 0.9 percent, but well above the previous quarter's growth rate of 0.4 percent.
     
  • AUD/USD has broken above channel top and price action has entered into daily cloud.
     
  • We see a bullish divergence from price action on Stochs which adds upside support.
     
  • Upside has broken above 23.6% Fib and 50-DMA, next bull target lies at 38.2% Fib at 0.7688.
     
  • On the downside, 21-EMA is strong support. We see weakness on break below.

Support levels - 0.7611 (5-DMA), 0.7604 (50-DMA), 0.7575 (21-EMA)

Resistance levels - 0.7688 (38.2% Fib), 0.77, 0.7733 (100-DMA)
