AUD/USD: Watch for a Reversal with RBA Decision AUD/USD continues to hit new yearly highs as risk sentiment improves following the FOMC’s 50-basis-point rate cut last week and today’s Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meeting, where no rate change is expected.
However, a dovish tilt from the RBA meeting notes could shift the pair’s momentum, with the 200-Day Moving Average acting as a key level to watch. Also, keep an eye on the RSI, which is nearing the overbought zone at 70 on the daily chart.
Beyond the RBA decision later today, Australian inflation data is set for release tomorrow, with headline inflation expected to drop sharply from 3.5% to 3.1%.
AUDUSD
AUD/USD rises to eight-month high, RBA nextThe Australian dollar has started the week with gains. AUD/USD touched a high of 0.6850, its highest level this year. In the North American session, the Australian dollar is trading at 0.6842, up 0.51% on the day.
The Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to maintain the cash rate at 4.35% at Tuesday’s meeting. The RBA has held rates since November, making it an outlier among the major central banks, most of which have lowered interest rates. Underlying inflation is at 3.9%, much higher than the target of between 2% and 3%. Australia releases August CPI on Wednesday, with headline CPI expected to fall to 2.8%, compared to 3.5% in July.
The RBA was more cautious than other central banks during the rate-tightening cycle and its cash rate peaked one percent below the Federal Reserve. The flip side is that the RBA has been less aggressive as far as cutting rates and Governor Bullock has said that there are no plans to cut before February 2025.
The RBA’s rate hikes have chilled economic growth as consumption has fallen sharply and GDP grew by only 1% in the second quarter. Still, the labor market has remained robust and unemployment is at 4.2%, as large-scale immigration has boosted the economy and helped avoid a recession.
In the US, today’s PMIs had no impact on AUD/USD. The manufacturing PMI slipped to 47.0 in September, down from 47.9 in August and well off the market estimate of 48.5. This was the lowest level in thirteen months as new orders fell sharply. The services sector is in better shape as the PMI ticked lower to 54.4, compared to 54.6 in August and slightly above the market estimate of 54.3.
0.6865 has held in resistance since December 2023. Above, there is resistance at 0.6923
0.6781 and 0.6723 are the next support levels

RBA Decision: Can Bulls Break 0.6900? RBA Decision: Can Bulls Break 0.6900?
The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to slash interest rates by half a percentage point this week has intensified scrutiny on the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which will hold its policy meeting next week.
Making a RBA’s interest rate cut less likely in the short term: Australia's labor market delivered stronger-than-expected job growth in August. Maybe this is why the AUDUSD has printed a nine-month high earlier today, creating the fourth consecutive green candle.
However, underlying weaknesses are emerging, as the gains were driven by part-time employment, with full-time jobs declining.
Should this momentum continue, AUD/USD could potentially test 0.6900 resistance, a high last seen in late 2023.
AUD/USD climbs on Aussie job data, Fed rate cutThe Australian dollar has posted sharp gains on Thursday. AUD/USD rose as much as 1% before paring most of those gains. In the North American session, the Australian dollar is trading at 0.6792, up 0.41% on the day.
Australia created 47.5 thousand jobs in August, close to the revised 48.9 thousand in July and crushing the market estimate of 25 thousand. The gains were all part-time positions as full-time jobs actually declined by 3.1 thousand. Still, investors gave a thumbs-up and the Australian dollar is up sharply today. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%, in line with market expectations.
The Reserve Bank of Australia remains an outlier among the major central banks as it is yet to lower rates. The RBA has maintained rates at 4.35% since November but its “higher for longer” stance has not brought down inflation as much as expected. Inflation has dropped to 3.5% but that is still higher than the inflation target range of between 2 and 3 percent. The RBA meets next Wednesday, a day before the August inflation report and is expected to maintain rates.
In one of the most anticipated rate meetings in recent memory, the Federal Reserve surprised the markets with an oversize cut of 50 basis points. The markets were unsure right up to decision time whether the Fed would go with a modest 25 bps cut or the large 50 bps cut. In the end, the Fed opted for the deeper cut in a near-unanimous decision (11 of 12 members voted in favor).
The message from the Fed was that it is confident that inflation will remain sustainably near the 2% target and that the weak labor market was in need of strong relief. In his press conference, Fed Chair Powell tried to assure the markets that the US economy was in good shape and that today’s move was not a signal that further 50 bps cuts were on the way.
AUD/USD is testing resistance at 0.6798. Above, there is resistance at 0.6862
0.6751 and 0.6687 are the next support levels
Post FOMC analysis19th September
DXY: Currently at 100.60, could bounce to retest bearish trendline. If 100.60 broken, could test 100 round number.
NZDUSD: Could trade higher, look for reaction at 0.63 resistance, Buy 0.6255 SL 20 TP 40
AUDUSD: Buy 0.6780 SL 30 TP 70
GBPUSD: Sell 1.3250 SL 30 TP 90 (BoE Rates Decision pending)
EURUSD: Sell 1.1130 SL 25 TP 50

USDCHF: Sell 0.8430 SL 20 TP 40
USDCAD: Sell 1.3560 SL 30 TP 40
Gold: Currently at 2585 could trade higher to 2600 and even form new ATH
AUDUSD: Bearish Breakout Ahead! 55.06% Chance to Hit My Target!The Australian Dollar faces several headwinds that support a bearish bias against the US Dollar:
1. China's economic slowdown is hurting demand for Australian exports.
2. The RBA has paused rate hikes while the Fed maintains a hawkish stance, potentially widening the interest rate gap.
3. Global economic uncertainties favor the safe-haven USD over the risk-sensitive AUD.
I'm using probability analysis on my charts to find good short entry points for AUD/USD.

AUD/USD BEST PLACE TO SELL FROM|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
Bearish trend on AUD/USD, defined by the red colour of the last week candle combined with the fact the pair is overbought based on the BB upper band proximity, makes me expect a bearish rebound from the resistance line above and a retest of the local target below at 0.660.

Bulls have the Bears by the "Neck" - AUHere I have AUD/USD on the 4Hr Chart!
Price is now using the "Neckline" or Support of the failed Head & Shoulders the Bears were unable to finish, and pushing Higher breaking through the Falling Resistance created by the Highs of the "Head" and "Right Shoulder".
Now I believe with an on-going Rate Cut cycle about to begin for the Federal Reserve, we will start to see the Bulls undo the previous Head & Shoulders Pattern one Swing High at a time!
If Price will need to find some Support before it begins to continue further Higher, this Support can be found at either:
- The High just before the Break @ .6732
or
- Retesting the Break of Falling Resistance + FVG @ ( .6720 - .6715 )
Indicators:
- RSI Above 50
- BBTrend printing Green Bars
- Volume Delta showing Bullish presence increasing
*TP1 - .67672
*TP2 - .68236

AUDUSD Any post-Fed spike will be a great sell opportunity.The AUDUSD pair is once again approaching the 14-month Resistance Zone, following a convincing rebound on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). This Higher Lows rebound resembles the July 06 2023 bounce that priced a Double Top at the top of the Resistance Zone, before collapsing rapidly to new Lows.
Ahead of today's Fed Rate Decision, we will welcome any short-term spike on high volatility to short (up to the top of the Resistance Zone) and target the Support Zone at 0.63750.

Still holding AUDUSD sells - Who's with me ?AUDUSD is likely to maintain a slightly bearish bias for the remainder of the week due to a combination of fundamental factors:
1. China’s Economic Slowdown: Australia’s economy is heavily tied to China due to its exports of raw materials like iron ore and coal. Recent weak economic data from China, including softer industrial production and ongoing concerns about its property market, have weighed on commodity currencies like the Australian dollar.
2. US Dollar Strength: The USD has remained strong, supported by expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer. While the Fed is not expected to raise rates this week, the ongoing resilience in US economic data, particularly in the labor market and retail sales, is keeping the USD in demand.
3. RBA’s Dovish Outlook: The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has adopted a more cautious tone recently, with inflationary pressures easing slightly and domestic economic growth showing signs of moderation. This has reduced market expectations of further rate hikes, weakening AUD.
4. Commodity Prices: Softness in commodity prices, particularly in key Australian exports such as iron ore, has added downside pressure to the AUD. Global risk sentiment remains fragile, and lower commodity demand amid concerns about global growth, especially in China, has further dampened the outlook for the Australian economy.
These factors suggest a continuation of bearish pressure on AUDUSD, although potential rebounds in risk sentiment or unexpected shifts in central bank policy could provide short-term relief for the pair.
