AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7172; (P) 0.7192; (R1) 0.7217;
As long as 0.7234 minor resistance holds, further decline is expected in AUD/USD. Next target is 100% projection of 0.7452 to 0.7201 from 0.7361 at 0.7110. Break will target 161.8% projection at 0.6955. However, break of 0.7234 will indicate short term bottoming and bring lengthier consolidations.
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 medium term correction should be seen first before down trend resumption.
USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3104; (P) 1.3166; (R1) 1.3203;
USD/CAD’s break of 1.3134 minor support suggests temporary topping at 1.3325. Intraday bias is turned neutral for some consolidation. We’re holding on to the view that correction from 1.3385 has completed at 1.2886. Downside of retreat should be contained well above 1.2886 to bring another rally. On the upside, break of 1.3225 will target a test on 1.3385 high.
In the bigger picture, strong rebound ahead of 38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3385 at 1.2879 key fibonacci level retains medium term bullishness. That is, rise from 2017 low at 1.2061 is still in progress. Break of 1.3384 should target 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2015 high) to 1.2061 (2017 low) at 1.3685. On the downside, as long as 1.2886 support holds, outlook will now remain bullish.
