FxWirePro: Aussie gains despite soft retail sales figures, finds support at 10-DMA

  • The Australian dollar rallied, hovering towards a 2-week peak hit earlier in the week as the greenback tumbled to multi-month lows. 
     
  • Earlier in the day the major eased to 0.6585 on data that showed Australia's January month retail sales slipped 0.3 percent, below 0.0 percent forecast.
     
  • The Aussie was trading 0.4 percent up at 0.6640, having hit a high of 0.6645 on Tuesday, its highest since Feb. 20. 
     
  • Technical indicators are turning bullish: RSI point north, Stochs are biased higher and MACD supports upside.
     
  • The pair broke above minor resistance 21-EMA but struggles to extend gains. 
     
  • Immediate resistance is located at 0.6648, a break above could take it near 0.6665.
     
  • On the downside, support is seen at 0.6580 (10-DMA), a break below could drag it till 0.6553.

Recommendation: Good to buy on dips around 0.6616, with stop loss of 0.6604, and target price of 0.6648.
