The Australian Dollar and New Zealand Dollar have both maintained upside pressures through mid-July, with the NZDUSD hitting a new 2016 high over the past week and AUDUSD pushing above key .7648, to shift the outlook from more of a range environment to a bullish them into the second half of July.
AUDUSD
A new recovery high Friday to reinforce upside pressures from the intermediate-term bullish shift signalled Wednesday, by the prod above .7648.
But then a notable intraday setback for a bearish outside pattern, leaves a downside corrective consolidation tone into Monday.
Short/ Intermediate-term Outlook – Upside Risks:
- We see a positive tone with the bullish threat to .7719.
- Above here targets .7835/49/78 and .8000.
What Changes This? Below .7403 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below .7284.
For Monday:
- We see a downside bias through .7555 for .7518/10; break here aims for .7467/66.
- But above .7645 opens risk up to .7676, maybe for .7700 and next key level at .7719.
