Current trend
After the formation of narrowing consolidation, the pair dropped down significantly at the end of last trading week. The fundamental factor of the fall was the comments of RBA representatives on the positive effect on inflation from the weak Australian dollar. In addition, on Friday the US dollar received support after the release of data on US inflation.
Today the pair AUD/USD has reached the level of 0.7260. This week, we are waiting for statistics on retail sales, industrial production, the labor market and leading US indices. Australia will respond with data on the level of unemployment.
Support and resistance
After a strong fall, one should wait for a correction wave in the medium term, however, at higher timeframes, technical indicators confirm a downtrend: MACD indicates an increase in the volume of short positions; the Bollinger bands are directed downwards.
Support levels: 0.7275, 0.7250, 0.7200, 0.7180, 0.7150, 0.7130, 0.7070.
Resistance levels: 0.7300, 0.7330, 0.7370, 0.7410, 0.7505, 0.7560, 0.7600.
