Further backing the positive picture are the short-term oscillators as well as the 200-period SMA. The MACD, in the positive region, is strengthening above its red trigger line, while the RSI is attempting to [..]

RBA to stay put as flare-up threatens Australia’s envious virus record – Forex News Preview

Posted on July 3, 2020 at 12:36 pm GMT

The Reserve Bank of Australia is almost certain to keep monetary policy unchanged on Tuesday when it announces its decision at 4:30 GMT. Australia is one of only a handful of countries that can boast a successful virus containment policy and that success bodes well for its economy as it allows the RBA to take a backseat, which in turn is boosting the local dollar. However, with even Australia now facing a resurgence of coronavirus cases in some districts, will [..]

Posted on July 2, 2020 at 7:51 am GMT

AUDUSD has been on the sidelines over the past three weeks, but is still within the three-month old ascending channel, keeping hopes alive that the positive pattern may continue.

Technical Analysis – AUDUSD moves sideways below 0.6900; positive momentum in medium term

Posted on June 29, 2020 at 9:57 am GMT

AUDUSD has been on the sidelines over the last two weeks as the 0.6975 resistance and the 0.6800 handle seem to be a real struggle for traders. Technically, the price could lose some ground in the short-term as the RSI is flattening below 50, while the MACD is flirting with its trigger and zero lines.
