AUD/USD Weekly Outlook

AUD/USD declined mildly last week but stayed well above 0.6809 support. Price actions from 0.6929 are seen as a consolidation pattern first. Initial bias remains neutral this week. On the upside, break of 0.6929 will resume the rise from 0.6670 to 0.7082 key resistance next. On the downside, however, break of 0.6809 support will suggest that such rebound is completed. Intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for retesting 0.6670 low.

In the bigger picture, the case of medium term bullish reversal is building up with bullish convergence condition in weekly MACD. But there is no clear confirmation yet. As long as 0.7082 resistance holds, larger down trend from 0.8135 (2018 high) is still expect to continue to 0.6008 (2008 low). However, decisive break of 0.7082 will confirm medium term bottoming and bring stronger rally back to 55 month EMA (now at 0.7529).

In the longer term picture, prior rejection by 55 month EMA maintained long term bearishness in AUD/USD. That is, down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high) is still in progress. Next downside target is 61.8% projection of 1.1079 to 0.6826 from 0.8135 at 0.5507.
