AUDUSD has undergone significant losses for the first half of September. The break below through key .7484 support indicated a notable intermediate-term top and reversal of the bull trend from May. This activity now points to a consolidation theme for the second half of September, but with risks of a more bearish shift below .7403.
NZDUSD has not yet suffered as significant a technical setback, but risks are growing for a shift from bullish to neutral on the intermediate-term outlook. This would only be signalled by a break below .7200.
AUDUSD
A setback Friday from ahead of .7540 resistance to reinforce the low level consolidation Wednesday-Thursday and leave negative pressures from the Tuesday breakdown through key .7489/86/84 support, to keep a bear bias again Monday.
In addition, the plunge below this support area (.7489/86/84), also produced a shift in the intermediate-term view from bullish to neutral.
For Monday:
- We see a downside bias for .7471 and .7438; break here aims for .7417 and maybe next critical level at .7403!
- But above .7528/40 opens risk up to .7568/80 and maybe .7619.
Short/ Intermediate-term Range Parameters: We see the range defined by .7403 and .7760.
Range Breakout Challenge
- Upside: Above .7760 aims higher for .7835/50/78, .8000 and .8164/66.
- Downside: Below .7403 sees risk lower for .7284 and .7141.
