Aud-usd
AUDUSD to find buyers at 0.236 retracements?AUDUSD - 24h expiry
There is no sign that this bearish momentum is faltering but the pair has stalled close to a previous swing low of 0.6629.
Bullish divergence can be seen on the 4 hour chart (the chart makes a lower low while the oscillator makes a higher low), often a signal of exhausted bearish momentum, or at least a correction higher.
Indecisive price action has resulted in sideways congestion on the intraday chart.
This is positive for short term sentiment and we look to set longs at good risk/reward levels for a further correction higher.
Further upside is expected although we prefer to buy into dips close to the 0.6630 level.
We look to Buy at 0.6632 (stop at 0.6602)
Our profit targets will be 0.6707 and 0.6727
Resistance: 0.6780 / 0.6925 / 0.7160
Support: 0.6550 / 0.6380 / 0.6170

AUD USD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISAustralia: Jobs, wage data and RBA minutes on tap
Australia’s labor market data is out on Thursday and expected to show the addition of 25k jobs in April after 53k jobs added in March, with the unemployment and participation rates seen steady at 3.5% and 66.7% respectively. Just a day ahead of this release, we also get the Q1 wage price index which could be a key focus as RBA Governor Lowe emphasised the importance of the “evolution of labor costs” to justify the recent increase in the cash rate. A big upside surprise in wage and labor data could continue to suggest a tight job market in Australia, and bring back “sticky” inflation concerns which could be a tricky situation for the RBA and potentially mean more downside for the AUDUSD which has broken below the 50DMA. RBA minutes from the May meeting are also out on Tuesday.
AUDUSD Buy short termAUDUSD is inside a Channel Up with the 1day MA100 on its top and the 1day MA50 in the middle.
Buy on the short term and target the Channel's top at 0.68150.
Price closing over the Channel Up equals buy, Target 0.7000.
Price closing under Support A equals sell, Target 0.6400.
