MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - AUDUSD Extends Downside Reversal

Price Signal Summary – AUDUSD Extends Downside Reversal

  • A bull theme in S&P E-minis remains intact and the recent pullback appears to be a correction. The latest move lower has allowed a recent overbought condition to unwind. Initial key support lies at the 20-day EMA, at 4365.83. A break of this average would strengthen a short-term bearish theme. The Eurostoxx 50 futures uptrend remains intact and the pair has recovered from Monday’s low. A bearish cycle since Jun 16 resulted in a correction. The contract breached support at 4301.00, the Jun 8 low. This level represented a key short-term support and an extension lower would expose 4241.00
  • The primary uptrend in GBPUSD remains intact, however, a corrective cycle remains in play. The recent move lower is allowing an overbought trend condition to unwind. Support to watch lies at 1.2651, the 20-day EMA. Another bullish session in USDJPY yesterday and the pair touched a new multi-month high. The pair is approaching 144.40 - the 1.382 projection of the Jan 16 - Mar 8 - Mar 24 price swing and 145.04 further out, resistance at the 2.0% 10-dma envelope. AUDUSD has traded lower today, extending the reversal that started Jun 16. The recent move lower has resulted in a break of the 20- and 50-day EMA values, suggesting scope for a deeper retracement. 0.6627, 61.8% of the May 31 - Jun 16 rally, has been pierced.
  • Trend conditions in Gold are unchanged and the outlook remains bearish following last week’s move lower. Trendline support has been breached - the line is drawn from the Nov 3 2022 low and the break reinforces a bearish condition. WTI futures remain in a bear mode condition and the sharp sell-off late last week reinforces this condition. Support at $67.21, the May 31 low, has recently been pierced, a clear break would open $64.41, the May 4 low.
  • Bund futures have pulled back from yesterday’s high. The contract has this week breached resistance at 134.77, the Jun 12 high. The latest gains have eased recent bearish pressure and the breach of 134.77 signals scope for a stronger recovery towards 135.85. A strong bounce in Gilt futures last Friday resulted in a clear break of resistance at the 20-day EMA. The contract has since pulled back. Short-term gains are considered corrective and a continuation higher would expose key resistance at 97.64, the Jun 1 high.
