EURAUD BUY @ Market 1.5920
Updated
After a frustrating stalemate between bulls and bears over the last couple of months, it looks the bovine contingent is finally taking control of EUR/AUD.
From mid-June through last week, the cross spent more than two months consolidating in the 300-pip range between about 1.5600 and 1.5900. Rates exploded higher last week, surging from the bottom of that range to peek out above 1.5900 resistance. After a brief dip over Friday and Monday’s trade, the unit has broken to fresh 3-month highs, clearing the bearish trend line off the March peak in the process.
Meanwhile, the hourly chart shows general bullish momentum and a breakout from a high base / rounded bottom formation, signalling that another leg higher is likely from here, with bulls initially looking to target the previous highs above 1.6100
