Posted on November 17, 2020 at 1:15 pm GMT

October’s employment report for Australia is likely to catch investors’ eyes on Thursday at 0030 GMT, along with preliminary retail sales figure on Friday at 0030 GMT. The governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), Philip Lowe, has confirmed a major shift in Australia’s monetary policy by stating the central bank would now focus on employment rather than inflation. Nevertheless, the aussie continues to move higher against the US dollar but may soon need a boost for stronger bullish movements. [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD tests upper Bollinger Band but upside momentum flimsy

Posted on November 16, 2020 at 2:44 pm GMT

AUDUSD’s recent positive development appears to be struggling around the upper Bollinger band, whilst heavy resistance threatens overhead. That said, the simple moving averages (SMAs) are commanding a strong bullish tone backing further advances in the price. The short-term oscillators are communicating conflicting signals in directional momentum. The MACD is improving above its trigger and zero lines, while the RSI is rising in bullish territory. However, the stochastic oscillator has posted a bearish shift, promoting a pullback in price. If [..]

Week Ahead – Plenty of data but Covid, Trump and Brexit might steal the spotlight

Posted on November 13, 2020 at 1:40 pm GMT

After the US election and vaccine frenzy, economic data will move to the forefront in the coming week, with inflation and retail sales comprising the bulk of the releases. However, investors might be wrong to assume that the election and virus storms are over as Trump steps up his legal fight to overturn Joe Biden’s projected win and as several states in America head towards new lockdowns. If all that fails to produce enough drama, there is always Brexit waiting [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD hovers above 0.7250; lacks direction in short term

Posted on November 12, 2020 at 8:32 am GMT

AUDUSD seems to be range bound, something also reflected in the flattening out of the slopes of the 20- and 40-day simple moving averages (SMAs), though, the price climbed above 0.7250 in the previous daily sessions. The directionless Ichimoku lines and the steadied cloud further reflect this view. That said, the short-term oscillators, although somewhat stalled, still lean towards a slightly positive picture. The MACD, in the positive region, is holding above its trigger line, while the RSI hovers in bullish territory. [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD maintains bullish bias despite latest pullback

Posted on November 10, 2020 at 4:33 pm GMT

AUDUSD has retreated from the fresh high of 0.7339, which formed within a resistance section of peaks from back in September. The simple moving averages (SMAs) continue to convey improvements in the pair with their recently acquired bullish demeanour. The short-term oscillators are transmitting conflicting signals in directional momentum. The MACD, in the positive zone, is decreasing below its red trigger line, while the RSI’s descent in bullish territory is slowing ahead of the 50 threshold. That said, the stochastic [..]

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD hits familiar bullish spot; trend continuation eyed

Posted on November 5, 2020 at 9:11 am GMT

AUDUSD collected marginal gains on Wednesday and closed just around the 50-day simple moving average ((SMA) despite a volatile session within the 0.7100-0.7000 region. Earlier in the week, the 0.7030 support area managed to halt negative movements for the third time, increasing speculation that the downfall from the 0.7412 peak could be temporary. The recent bullish action could also reflect the end of an a-c corrective pattern and the start of a new bullish wave 1-5 according to the Elliot theory. Still, [..]
