AUD/USD: Watch for a Reversal with RBA Decision AUD/USD continues to hit new yearly highs as risk sentiment improves following the FOMC’s 50-basis-point rate cut last week and today’s Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meeting, where no rate change is expected.
However, a dovish tilt from the RBA meeting notes could shift the pair’s momentum, with the 200-Day Moving Average acting as a key level to watch. Also, keep an eye on the RSI, which is nearing the overbought zone at 70 on the daily chart.
Beyond the RBA decision later today, Australian inflation data is set for release tomorrow, with headline inflation expected to drop sharply from 3.5% to 3.1%.

AUD/USD Eyes Key Data After Breaking 0.6600AUD/USD Eyes Key Data After Breaking 0.6600
The AUD/USD extended its rally passed the critical 0.6600 mark to hit new three-week highs. Traders now turn their attention to the upcoming Australian Consumer Inflation Expectations and Unemployment.
The pair faces immediate resistance at the 200-day moving average, followed by the 0.668 level. On the downside, initial support could be the 100-day moving average, with further backing at the 50-day moving average.
In the U.S., the spotlight shifts to the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) due Wednesday.
Earlier today, the Producer Price Index (PPI) data showed a 2.2% year-over-year increase for July, down from the 2.7% rise in June. PPI often acts as an early indicator for upcoming CPI inflation.
Market participants are currently pricing in a roughly 54% chance of a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut in September, a probability that could increase following the PPI data.

Then I will look to sell from that zone.
Selling only after the break below the HMA and the retest of the liquidity/weekly rejection zone
This will most likely take a month or two to be realized

🦘🦘 Aussie Kangaroo Returns Home In The OutbackThe Australian dollar has been taking a bath. It’s gone from buying 71 US cents at the beginning of the year to netting you just 63.3 US cents against the benchmark greenback.
The dollar is down over the last year against most currencies, and down over the past few weeks against almost every currency.
The humble Aussie dollar is suffering in particular against European currencies: Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc and the Euro.
However, even in Japan where the AUD is up over the year so far, it is down in recent weeks.
What’s going on? The answer is two-fold.
👉 America’s economy is stronger than expected. And China is weaker, so Chinese yuan has little to no chance of dethroning the US dollar, even as global de-dollarization happens.
👉 Australia gets hit on both of those trades.

High Stakes: RBA rate decision vs. Melbourne Cup We are about 8 hours away from the latest Reserve Bank of Australia interest rate decision.
That decision is due on Tuesday at 2:30 pm (local Aussie time), a couple of hours before the country's biggest horse race, the Melbourne Cup ($8 million in prize money) is set to take place.
But perhaps the more exciting match ups will be occurring in the forex market.
Currently, the market is thinking there is a 70% chance of a 25-basis points hike because of the RBA governor's rhetoric that the bank would "not hesitate to raise the cash rate further" if inflation was higher than expected (which it was in its last quarterly reading). The 30% chance of no hike is possibly driven by concerns about mortgage stress in the country after the post-COVID 12 cash rate increases.
On the flip side of some potential AUD trades, we have expectations for the US Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB) enacting a 25-basis points cut by June next year.
Weaker-than-expected NFP figures in the U.S. last Friday bolstered expectations that the Fed was done with its tightening campaign and pulled the AUD/USD up past 0.64900 from 0.64400. This makes me question whether the upside to the AUD/USD is all played out. Moments after the interest rate announcement will be crucial to see which direction the market wants to take.
If the RBA does enact a hike today, concerns about mortgage stress in Australia might induce the pair to revisit some of the levels the pair traversed last Friday during its climb just before market close.
AUDUSD ... SHORTThe Australian Dollar US Dollar Cross has continued to dip Bearish. From our All Round Analyst session, we were able to spot this bearish dive early enough and have continued to ride the rollercoaster bearish.
Market is likely to make a pullback bullish soon. This will allow us another opportunity to be part of this bearish push. Where the bullish pullback commences, we expect proces to coem into our 1 hour supply zone. When that happens, we will begin to look for bearish reversals to confirm our entry on the trade.
BIAS: BEARISH
AUDJPY is impending reversal SHORTOn the one-hour chart, AUDJPY is in the area of overhead resistance and the supply zone. Both
the zero-lag MACD is showing bearish divergence. The mass index indicator has already given
a reversal signal where mathematically the indicator goes over 27 and then triggers when
it crosses down on 26.5 This indicator often misses a reversal but seldomly generates false
signals. Japan has had rock-solid central bank actions and policies perhaps propping up the
currency value in comparison with others including the Australian dollar. Overall, I have
high confidence in a short leveraged forex trade of the pair at this time. The stop loss is
just above the red supply zone while the target is just above the POC line of the volume
profile yielding a trade with a reward for risk of over 20.
AUD/USD Short IdeaHello Traders,
I am anticipating downside for the Aussie, based on a few technical points.
1. Daily channel (Dark Blue Line) was broken on 4H and retested last week for a leg lower.
2. 50 EMA is currently being tested and holding as resistance on the 4H TF.
3. Lots of confluence in the light orange rectangular box which is a previous supply zone & price is now just above the 50% fib level.
4. Bullish PA has stalled which can be transitioning for incoming selling pressure.
Also, XAU/USD has been absolutely slaughtered and the Aussie has yet to show any big sell off as gold is one of their top exported commodities.
Feel free to share your thoughts, thank you.

AUD/USD coils up at the lows - 68c up next?A potential bearish continuation pattern is forming on the 4-hour chart around last week’s VPOC (volume point of control). RSI (14) produced a bearish divergence ahead of the selloff and remains below 50 to show negative momentum overall. Prices remain beneath the weekly and pivot point and monthly R1, so now seeking evidence of a swing high beneath those levels for a move down to 0.6850 and eventually the 0.6800 support zone.
AUSSIE $ - Will The Channel Hold ?Hello to all,
Aussie Dollar has been trading within this channel since November of last year.
Current price has slightly broke above .70000 testing the top region of our channel.
Taking into consideration the beating the U$D took last week, I expect the Aussie$ to have a minor pull back to previous support near the .69000 level.
The Risk to Reward is definitely worth it.
We shall see, GOD BLESS AMERICA BABY !
Good Aussie Sell Off!I previously collected -347 pips ( -5%) from AUDUSD, market came and retested my support area ( now resistance area) around 0.65264 signaling more weakness to come. Any retest should be seen as a selling opportunity, I expect market to fall towards 0.61300, a -275 pips (-4.3%) move from market current position. Despite a strong start in July, the Australian Dollar fell against the US Dollar in August and September, extending the downward trend established in April when prices hit the highest level since June 2021 before selling off. AUD/USD closed out September with a loss of around 4% after the US Dollar surged against its major peers.
AUDUSD AnalysisIF AUDUSD is able to breaking the trendline it is nice idea to wait for the retest of the broken structure turning to be resistance.
if the market is able to continue its uptrend, I am not buying it, just seeing if the price is able to turn into a selling mode.
Though its going against the trend, let us be very careful about the risk on this setup.
