AUD/USD rising gently towards resistance – buyer beware?
Hawkish comments from RBA’s governor have provided a tailwind for AUD/USD today, after she said that the central bank would not hesitate to hike rates if needed. This is all very well, but with the Fed in easing mode and the RBNZ potentially cutting next week, the probability of an RBA hike seems low. But her words have allowed the Aussie to have another crack at Wednesday’s high, but so far it has the hallmark of a ‘last hurrah’.
A 50% retracement level between the July high and August low provided resistance for yesterday’s bearish pinbar. And even if prices break above this high, the 200-day MA hovers overhead at the 66c handle. And given the 2-day RSI looks set to close in the overbought zone (although yet to be confirmed), we like the looks of fades within the 0.6570 – 0.6660 area for a swing trade short.
