- In our last AUDUSD and NZDUSD reports published here on 2nd July we highlighted a renewal of intermediate-term bearish pressures for AUDUSD and NZDUSD.
- However, despite bearish extensions, much of the AUDUSD and NZDUSD price action in July has followed a consolidation theme, which has raised risks for bottoming patterns.
- The AUDUSD FX rate maintains an intermediate-term bear trend, BUT above .7484 would see a base and a shift the intermediate-term outlook to neutral.
- For the NZDUSD currency rate, a similar bottom and neutral shift would require a recovery above .6858.
AUDUSD
Bias back higher
An initial dip Friday, but then a significant surge higher (broader USD weakness), through the .7395/7400 resistance area, for now rejecting Thursday’s selloff down from the .7442 resistance level, shifting risk higher Monday.
We see an intermediate-term bear trend whilst below .7484.
For Today:
- We see an upside bias for .7442; break here aims for .7484.
- But below .7360/55 maybe opens risk down to .7315, then quickly to the .7308, the cycle low.
Intermediate-term Outlook – Downside Risks: Whilst contained below .7484 we see a downside risk for .7155/41 and .7000.
- What Changes This? Above .7484 switches the intermediate-term outlook back to neutral; above .7678 shifts the view to bullish.
Resistance and Support:
| .7442** | .7484*** | .7566 | .7597/00 | .7623* |

For Today:
