FxWirePro: AUD/USD finds strong support at cloud base, weakness only on break below

  • AUD/USD retraces RBA led weakness, bounces off cloud base support, intraday bias higher.
     
  • RBA said the pick-up in economic activity and inflation could be slower that the current forecasts due to the strong Aussie dollar.
     
  • The central bank expects slow wage growth, high debt to constrain household spending and says, "lower rates continue to support Australian economy".
     
  • AUD/USD hit lowest since July 14, but pared losses after finding support at daily cloud base.
     
  • The major is trading 0.28% higher on the day, slightly lower from session highs at 0.7856.
     
  • Uptick was supported by broad based US dollar weakness amid looming uncertainty over the next Fed Chairperson.
     
  • Price action has broken above 5-DMA at 0.7839 and we see scope for further upside on close above. 50-DMA at 0.7935 then in sight.
     
  • Weakness only on decisive break below cloud support, test of 100-DMA at 0.7775 then likely.

Support levels - 0.7838 (5-DMA), 0.78 (cloud base), 0.7775 (100-DMA), 0.7756 (38.2% Fib retrace of 0.71599 to 0.81250 rally)

Resistance levels - 0.7897 (23.6% Fib), 0.7935 (50-DMA), 0.80

Recommendation: Watch out for break below daily cloud for further weakness.
