AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7309; (P) 0.7326; (R1) 0.7358;
AUD/USD’s rebound from 0.7201 short term bottom extends to as high as 0.7358 so far today. 0.7346 support turned resistance is broken without sign of topping yet. Intraday bias stays on the upside for 0.7452 key resistance next. On the downside, below 0.7295 minor support will argue that the rebound is finished and turn bias back to the downside.
In the bigger picture, rebound from 0.6826 (2016 low) is seen as a corrective move that should be completed at 0.8135. Fall from there would extend to have a test on 0.6826. There is prospect of resuming long term down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high). But we’ll look at downside momentum to assess at a later stage. On the upside, break of 0.7452 resistance, however, will indicate medium term bottoming, on bullish convergence condition in daily MACD. In that case, a correction should be seen first, with stronger rebound would be seen to 38.2% retracement of 0.8135 to 0.7201 at 0.7558. The down trend from 0.8135 will resume after the correction completes.
EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1425; (P) 1.1455 (R1) 1.1516;
EUR/USD’s rebound from 1.1300 short term bottom is still in progress. 1.1509 support turned resistance was met but there is no sign of topping yet. Intraday bias remains on the upside for 1.1745. We’d expect strong resistance from there to limit upside. On the downside, break of 1.1444 minor support will suggests that the rebound is completed. Intraday bias would be turned back to the downside for retesting 1.1300 low.
In the bigger picture, the down trend from 1.2555 medium term is in progress for 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186. Note again that EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. That carries some long term bearish implications. Sustained break of 1.1186 could pave the way back to retest 1.0339 low. For now, outlook will remain bearish as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.2555 to 1.1300 at 1.1779 holds, even in case of strong rebound.
