AUDUSD Potential For Bullish RiseOn H4, with the price breaking the descending channel and above ichimoku cloud, we have a bullish bias that the price may rise from the buy entry at 0.64079, which is in line with the swing low support to the take profit at 0.66741, where the 50% fibonacci retracement is. Alternatively, the price may drop to the stop loss at 0.63027, which is in line with the 50% fibonacci retracement .

AUD/USD incoming Retracement(80 pips)Hello Traders 2 major events will affect AUD/USD in the upcoming week. First RBA Interest Rate decision. Second FED Interest Rate decision. So we should expect high volatility in the following week. So here is why we are bearish on AUD/USD: 1- Iron ore price dumped hard. 2- 0.25 bps RBA interest Rate has been already priced. 3- 0.75 bps FED interest Rate will affect minor pairs like AUD & NZD strongly. Technically: 1- RSI and Stochastic are dropping. 2- Price has touched a strong resistance at 0.65. 3- Also Price has made a lower low that indicates a bearish trendline in the short term. We expect to visit ZONE 1 one more time in the next few days. Targets have been shown in the chart. If you like it then Support us by Like, Following and Sharing.

The week ahead - AUD (31 October 2022)AUDUSD reversed from the 0.6520 high last week to sit just above the 0.64 support level, ending the 250pip swing last week. The RBA interest rate decision is due on Tuesday and the expectation is for a rate hike of 25bps taking interest rates from 2.60% to 2.85%. In the previous meeting, the RBA conveyed that it was looking to tune back on the scale of future rate increases. However, recent CPI data from Australia indicated that inflation was still increasing, which might force the RBA to rethink the decision to slow down on the rate hikes. From the previous RBA rate decision, the price spiked up but was not able to sustain a move higher, only to trade lower later into the week. (check the previous RBA interest rates analysis) Check the DXY analysis, if the DXY does strengthen due to the FOMC interest rate decision, the AUDUSD could first fluctuate along the 0.64 price level before trading lower towards the 0.6170 support level.

AUDUSD Repeating this fractal can get the price lower.The AUDUSD pair has been trading within a Bearish Megaphone since the August 11 High, which was a direct rejection on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). In the last two days, the price is pulling back again after a 2-week rally that pushed it near the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Bearish Megaphone and the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). Technically a rejection there alone is a sell signal towards at least the October 13 Low. With a more careful look and the help of the 1D RSI, we can see that the Megaphone's price action resembles the April 05 - June 06 sequence (so far). We have plotted that pattern on the Megaphone's price action and as you see, they are very similar. That fractal got rejected on its flat Resistance (black line) as the pair did now, and after dropping to the previous Low, it made a bearish extension near the 1.382 Fibonacci level. The invalidation point of this projection is a closing above the Top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Bearish Megaphone and the 1D MA50. In that case, we will target the June 03 Lower Highs trend-line (dashed) and the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), a break above which, could target the flat May 05 Resistance Zone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, SUBSCRIBE ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

AUD USD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: NEUTRAL BASELINE Ongoing issues with China’s economy remain a question mark for the AUD. As long as China’s potential for recovery remains uncertain, the path for the AUD remains the same. The RBA surprised this past week with a 25bsp hike, sparking some speculation that the bank could be finalizing their hiking cycle sooner than expected (STIR markets priced out close to 75bsp from the terminal rate after the decision). As always risk sensitivity needs to be kept in mind for the AUD, and that means Q3 earnings season needs to be kept on the radar this incoming week. On the data side markets will be eyeing the QQ CPI print as well. POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES Data showing China’s growth outlook is improving or surprise announcement at the CCP congress that Covid-zero will end could provide upside for the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk on sentiment could trigger bullish reactions in the AUD. Catalyst that triggers recovery in key export commodities (China stimulus, lifting covid restrictions, new infrastructure projects in China) should be supportive for the AUD. The RBA caught markets by surprise with their 25bsp hike this past week. Any push back from the RBA stressing a smaller hike doesn’t mean a lower terminal rate can be AUD positive. POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES Data showing China’s growth outlook is deteriorating or strong affirmation that the covid-zero policy is here to stay could add additional pressure on the AUD. As a risk sensitive currency, catalysts that causes big bouts of risk off sentiment could trigger bearish reactions in the AUD. Catalyst that triggers further weakness in key export commodities (additional China restrictions, demand destruction) could be negative for the AUD. The RBA caught markets by surprise with their 25bsp hike this past week. Any push back from the RBA stressing a smaller hike doesn’t mean a lower terminal rate can be AUD positive. BIGGER PICTURE The AUD’s outlook remains neutral but is largely dependent on China and whether key commodities like Iron Ore and Coal can stop their bleeding. Until the covid situation and property issues in China improves materially, and until commodities and China’s growth stabilizes, the AUD is best suited for short-term trades in line with strong short-term sentiment. For the week ahead the focus is threefold with earnings season in the US an important risk sentiment driver, secondly, we have quarterly CPI data due on Wednesday and the Federal Budget due on Tuesday. USD FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK: BULLISH BASELINE With headline CPI above 8% and Core CPI seeing another acceleration in the SEP CPI data, the Fed is under pressure to continue hiking rates and ramping up QT. Markets expect another 75bsp hike in NOV and currently prices the terminal rate at 4.8%. The Fed is on a data-dependent (meeting-by-meeting) policy stance, meaning incoming growth, inflation and jobs data remains a key driver for short-term USD volatility where we expect a cyclical reaction with incoming data for both the USD and US10Y (good data expected to be supportive for the USD while bad data is expected to pressure the USD). Even though the USD had good composure for the majority of the week, the WSJ article, BoJ intervention and less hawkish comments from Fed’s Daly saw a strong push lower in the DXY . Given what has been priced for the USD and yields, the Daly comments and WSJ article gives us a short-term downside bias for the USD in the week ahead. POSSIBLE BULLISH SURPRISES With the Fed signalling a data dependent policy stance, we expect a cyclical reaction from the USD with incoming US data. Thus, extremely good growth, inflation or jobs data is expected to trigger short-term bullish reactions in the USD. If the cyclical outlook continues to weaken, the USD’s safe haven status still matters. Any incoming catalysts that increase deep recession fears and triggers strong moves lower in risk assets & bonds can trigger safe haven flows into the USD. With a lot priced for the Fed and USD, the bar is high for hawkish Fed surprises, but any aggressive Fed speak talking up a >5.0% terminal rate can trigger further USD upside. POSSIBLE BEARISH SURPRISES With the Fed signalling a data dependent policy stance, we expect a cyclical reaction from the USD with incoming US data. Thus, extremely bad growth, inflation or jobs data is expected to trigger short-term bearish reactions in the USD. If the cyclical outlook starts to improve, the USD’s safe haven status still matters. Any incoming catalysts that decrease deep recession fears and triggers strong moves higher in risk assets & bonds can trigger safe haven outflows out of the USD. With a lot priced in for the Fed and the USD, it won’t take much to disappoint on the dovish side. Any big concerns about growth from Fed speakers could trigger outflows. BIGGER PICTURE The fundamental outlook for the USD remains bullish as long as the Fed stays hawkish and cyclical concerns put pressure on risk sentiment. The data dependent stance from the Fed means that short-term data surprises can pull the USD either way and would be our preferred way of trading the Dollar right now. The econ calendar is slightly more exciting compared to last week with S&P Global PMI, Consumer Confidence and Core PCE, but after the Fed Daly comments and the WSJ article we suspect the USD could trade softer next week as the Fed enters their blackout period from Saturday.

AUD/USD Outlook (26 October 2022)The AUDUSD is once again testing the 0.64 resistance level. This current move higher is due to the weakness in the DXY as the price trades lower toward the 110 support level. However, for the AUDUSD to trade above the 0.64 resistance level, and to sustain a continual move higher, look toward the CPI data to be released (Forecast: 1.6% Previous 1.8%) If the CPI data gets released below 1.6%, this could signal that recent rate increases from the RBA are taking effect. Which would further indicate that future rate hikes could either slow down or be done at a smaller scale. Which could in turn help the AU economy avoid a possible recession, leading to the AUDUSD trading higher. The next key resistance level is 0.6545.

AUDUSD Potential For Bearish ContinuationOn the H4, with the price below the descending channel and ichimoku cloud, we have a bearish bias that the price may drop from the sell entry at 0.63317, which is in line with the overlap resistance to the take profit at 0.62026, where the previous swing low and 61.8% fibonacci projection are. Alternatively, the price may rise to the stop loss at 0.64123, which is in line with the overlap resistance.

AUDUSD M30: Bearish outlook seen, further downside below 0.63600On the M30 time frame, prices are approaching the resistance zone at 0.63600, in line with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and a pullback to this resistance zone presents an opportunity to play the drop to the support target at 0.62800. This support zone lines up with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and is a zone that prices interacted with multiple times. Stochastic is approaching resistance at 94 as well where we could see a reversal below this level, supporting the bearish bias.

AUDUSD 4hour Analysis October 23rd, 2022AUDUSD Neutral Idea Weekly Trend: Bearish Daily Trend: Bearish 4Hour Trend: Bearish Trade scenario 1: AU saw some bullish movement at the end of last week and price action is now resting near our 0.64000 resistance level. Price action did break a significant level and pattern but i’m not convinced we are bullish yet. Ideally we can spot structure above 0.64000 to get behind a bullish 4hour outlook. Trade scenario 2: For us to consider AU bearish again we would need to see a lower high below 0.63250. That would be the most comfortable scenario.
