AUD/USD chart on Trading View used for analysis
- Aussie extends weakness on dismal China inflation data and bearish technical setup on intraday charts raises scope for further weakness.
- China's October factory-gate inflation gauge came-in at 3.3 percent, missing estimates at 3.4 percent and down from the previous month's reading of 3.6 percent.
- Also, the Aussie was largely unimpressed by the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) latest Statement of Monetary Policy.
- The RBA maintained their no-movement stance on interest rates or monetary policies in general.
- We see the major has formed a bearish divergence on RSI and Stochs on the 4-hourly charts.
- The pair has slipped below 20-SMA on the 4H chart and has tested 23.6% Fib at 0.7236.
- Stochs and RSI are sharply lower and we see bearish MACD line crossover on signal line which raise scope for further weakness.
Support levels - 0.7195 (38.2% Fib), 0.7169 (4H 110-EMA), 0.7143 (20-DMA)
Resistance levels - 0.7283 (110-EMA), 0.73
