AUD/CAD – The AUDCAD appears to have completed 5 waves up at .8803 as the pair has stalled and retraced to the .8700 figure. A short term trendline drawn off of .8342 and .8522 is support at current price. A failure at the current juncture would give scope to a test of the 38.2% fibo of .8288-.8803 at .8607. 240 minute RSI has slipped below 50 and favors the downside. A rally above .8803 negates the bearish scenario.
AUD/JPY – We mentioned last week that “After completing a 5 wave rally on 10/25 at 90.83, AUDJPY has ranged between 90.06 and 90.83. The pair has held above the 10 day SMA on a closing basis but has yet to reach prior 4th wave support at 89.09. A decline to there is reasonable before another rally attempt takes place.†The decline is underway now as price has slipped below the 10 day SMA today. 90.06 is initial support with a decline below shifting focus to the aforementioned 89.09.
AUD/NZD – The AUDNZD is right at a 1 month trendline. The 20 day SMA at 1.1471 reinforces support. A break of the recent range from 1.1436 to 1.1566 is required to establish a directional bias. A break below the trendline and 1.1436 probes the 10/17 low at 1.1315 while a push above 1.1566 targets the 10/26 high at 1.1659 and the 200 day SMA at 1.1726.
