AUDUSD Technical Analysis The USD remains under pressure after weak data

September 25, 2024 at 09:01AM
Fundamental
Overview

Yesterday, the US Consumer Confidence report surprised to the downside
with one of the largest drops since 2021. The labour market data in the report
softened a lot and it generally leads the unemployment rate.

The market responded by
raising the probabilities for the Fed to cut by 50 bps in November to roughly
60%. The question now is whether this is just about the low hiring rate or
something worse. We will have to wait for the NFP report next Friday.

On the AUD side, the RBA
yesterday kept the Cash Rate unchanged as expected and although Governor Bullock
maintained its hawkish stance, the language was toned down a little.

The monthly Australian
CPI today missed expectations and although it didn’t change much the market’s
pricing it was still an improvement.

AUDUSD
Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe

On the daily chart, we can
see that AUDUSD reached eventually the 0.69 handle. The buyers will want to see
the price breaking above it to increase the bullish bets into the 0.70 handle
next. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see the price falling back
below the 0.6870 level to start targeting a drop back into the 0.68 handle.

AUDUSD Technical
Analysis – 4 hour Timeframe

On the 4 hour chart, we can
see that we have a trendline defining the current bullish momentum.
If we get a pullback, we can expect the buyers to lean on the trendline to
position for a rally into new highs. The sellers, on the other hand, will want
to see the price breaking lower to increase the bearish bets into new lows.

AUDUSD Technical
Analysis – 1 hour Timeframe

On the 1 hour chart, we can
see that we have a minor support around the 0.6870 level. The buyers might step
in here with a defined risk below the level to position for the continuation of
the uptrend, while the sellers will look for a break below the level to target
a drop into the major trendline. The red lines define the average daily range for today.

Upcoming
Catalysts

Tomorrow, we get the latest US Jobless Claims figures, while on Friday, we
conclude the week with the US PCE.
