Key Quotes

“AUD/USD has at last started to erode its 20 day ma at .7630, this is encouraging near term but we need a close above here to confirm. We continue to favour a deeper corrective rebound towards the 200 day ma at .7695. The market reversed recently just ahead of strong support – namely the 2016-2017 uptrend line and double Fibonacci retracement at .7500-.7475 (50% retracement of the move up from the 2016 low AND the 78.6% retracement of the move seen from May 2017)”.

“The recent intermediate high on 2 nd November at .7729 will need to be overcome to alleviate immediate downside pressure to a trigger a retracement to .7828/.7886”.

“Below .7475 would trigger a deeper sell off to the .7330 May low”.
