Flash: AUD/USD downtrend persists, bounce a selling opportunity - ANZ
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - AUD/USD has been heavily bought so far this week, with market participants reassured about the RBA on hold bias following latest central bank statement and today's in-line GDP in Australia.
According to Tim Riddell, Head of Global Markets Research at ANZ: "Bias is swinging towards another squeeze into the 0.9250-0.9300 area, but bounces have faltered in front of the first perceived hurdle of 0.9050 - now broken - (another lies at 0.9120)."
In view of Riddell, "Any slip below 0.8925 could undermine upside potential again, leaving AUD at risk of an early slide." In the scenario that the squeeze materializes, "it will still be seen as a selling opportunity" Riddell said.
