AUDUSD Short term upside!AUDUSD is completing the last leg of a 3 wave correction in the minuette purple degree, we called at the end of November 2021. The correction should take AUDUSD higher to about 0.73200, that is if we do not get a short leg (c) which can terminate at about 0.7250 (61.8% extension). At 0.73200 we should start looking to sell the AUDUSD for mid-term downside which should see the pair breaking well below the 3rd December 2021 low of 0.699, taking the pair as low as the 0.6700 areas.

The AUD/USD pair crashed to the lowest level since July 2020 as investors wait for the upcoming interest rate decision by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The pair also dropped sharply after the latest US jobs data.
AUD/USD Forecast
The four-hour chart shows that the AUD/USD pair has been in a sharp bearish trend in the past few weeks. The sell-off accelerated when the pair dropped below the key support at 0.7170, which was the lowest level in September. The pair has also moved below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the bearish trend will continue ahead of the RBA decision. The drop will likely be saved by a relatively hawkish RBA statement.
RBA Decision
The AUD/USD declined after Australia confirmed the community spread of Omicron, the latest variant of COVID-19. In a statement during the weekend, the country’s health ministry confirmed that 5 people had contracted the new variant in Sydney. There are worries that more people will continue to contract the illness.
Therefore, there is a likelihood that this variant will have an impact on the RBA, which started its meeting today. Before the Omicron variant, most analysts were expecting that the RBA will tweak its statement about when it will start hiking interest rates. In the previous meetings, the bank insisted that it will hike interest rates in 2024.
Therefore, the next key catalyst for the AUD/USD will be the RBA statement on interest rates even as the government comes up with solutions on the virus. It is unclear whether the Australian government will impose new lockdowns to curb the new spread.
The uncertainty of the RBA comes at a time when the Federal Reserve has hinted that it will start embracing a more hawkish policy. In a statement last week, the Fed Chair confirmed that the bank will unwind its $100+ billion quantitative easing policy earlier than expected. Powell also noted that the current variant will likely lead to higher inflation in the country.
He also warned that the variant will affect job creation. Data published on Friday showed that the US economy is seeing slow job growth. The economy added more than 240k jobs in November, lower than the expected 500k+.
AUDUSD: Manipulation ZonePrice is pushing into the hourly supply and it is slowing down.
We may see some sellers try and break the bullish trend line that has been respected on the way up.
I think a fake breakout to the downside will occur before we push up again after filling imbalances.
What are your thoughts?
AUD/USDThe Australian dolar has been falling sharply, due to risk-off sentiment hitting hard as concerns rise about the economic impact of the new omicron coronavirus variant. The Australian economy is already contracting sharply, as was revealed by last week’s GDP data which showed a quarterly contraction of 1.9%. The USD is relatively strong, so this pair is a major focus of the Forex market and has seen lots of action. The price of this currency pair ended last week right near its low after falling by more than 1.66%, closing at an 18-month low price with strong bearish momentum. These are all bearish signs and there is a good chance that the price will see another strong fall like last week, so there will probably be an opportunity for a short trade here.
The tone has taken a turn. More downside for AUDUSDThere are two new macro uncertainties we are going through right now.
1. Omnicron strain
2. Fed bringing forth the date to raise rates
Both of which spells trouble for the global economy which explains the risk off attitudes we are seeing in the market this week. We should see more downside come for the aussie dollar in the coming weeks unless there is a 180 degrees shift in macro sentiments.
BEAR CASE
It looks like price is ready to dump from here to retest the 0.67 levels.
BULL CASE
If we see a short consolidation to the upside this coming week, we will be looking for our shorts.
Bearish Cycle.AUDUSD is continuing the cycle to the downside with the completion of wave Y in the minute(green) degree, currently we are in a correction in wave 4 of the submicro(orange) degree of which if we do not get a double(unlikely) then we should continue lower making Lower-Lows & Lower-Highs repeatedly(about 7 swings) after of which we will see a significant bounce to the upside.

AUD/USD Forex Signal: Aussie at Risk as Omicron ArrivesAustralia Detects Omicron
The AUD/USD pair tumbled sharply as Australia became one of the few countries to detect the new Omicron variant. The country’s health ministry confirmed two new cases of the variant and there are concerns that more people will be infected.
Therefore, there are concerns about how this growth in infections will affect the country’s economy. The only optimism is that the country’s federal and state governments have committed to reopening even as the number of cases rise.
Business groups have also warned about new local and international restrictions. The government will also implement a three-day isolation period for all international arrivals.
Therefore, the new number of cases has led to worries that the Reserve Bank of Australia will sound dovish when it meets next week. Analysts were expecting that the RBA will tweak its policy statement and hint that rates will rise in 2023 instead of the previous 2024.
The next key data to move the AUD/USD will be Australia’s private home approvals and housing credit that will come out on Tuesday. The pair will also react to testimony by Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chair.
This will be his first statement since he was reappointed by Joe Biden. Analysts will be waiting for any change in sentiment during this meeting. Also, they will be watching out for any change in tone about the new variant of the virus.
The AUD/USD will also react to the latest pending home sales numbers from the United States. Pending home sales are expected to rise by 1% after falling by 2.3% in the previous month.
The AUD/USD pair has been in a major sell-off in the past few weeks. And last week, the pair managed to move below the key support level at 0.7170, which was the lowest level in October. It has also managed to drop below the 25-day and 15-day moving averages. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also been in a bearish trend.
Therefore, the pair will likely keep falling as bears target the key support at 0.7050. On the flip side, a move above 0.7200 will invalidate this view.

The AUD/USD pair sell-off accelerated on Monday as concerns about the new Covid-19 variant remained. The pair dropped to a multi-month low of 0.7115, which was the lowest level since August. This was 5.7% below its October high of 0.7550.
AUDUSD played out just as we expected!The pair dump farther down this week after breaking out of the channel structure it was trading in. It is at a point where consolidation could happen before more downside.
BULL CASE
I think it is likely we see some consolidation at these levels before more downside. If this happens, 0.71680 is a good level to short again with controlled risk.
BEAR CASE
If price continues the dump next week to the 0.7038 levels, expect to see strong support. It will be a wick out kind of move on the weekly.

The four-hour chart shows that the AUD/USD pair has been in a major bearish trend lately. The pair has even managed to move below the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Additionally, it has moved below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the money flow index (MFI) has started forming a bullish divergence pattern.
Therefore, the pair will likely continue falling this week as bears target the September low at 0.7165. On the flip side, a move above the key resistance at 0.7300 will invalidate this view.
Fed and RBA Divergence
The AUD/USD pair has tumbled mostly because of the relatively strong US dollar. In the past few weeks, the dollar has surged as investors reflect on the strong economic data from the US. As a recap, data published this month showed that the US added more than 543k jobs in October. In the same period, the unemployment rate declined to 4.6% while wages rose by 4.9%.
Meanwhile, additional data showed that the country’s inflation surged to the highest level in more than 30 years. At the same time, retail sales defied odds and surged in October. Therefore, these numbers signal that the Federal Reserve will continue with its tightening policies.
Elsewhere, in Australia, recent data has painted of an economy that is making a comeback after going through a rough patch a few months ago. The country’s labor market has done well while inflation and retail sales have also bounced back. Most importantly, Australian home prices have jumped to the highest level on record.
Unlike the Federal Reserve, the RBA has maintained a relatively dovish stance. In its recent minutes, the bank signalled that it will hike interest rates in 2024. That announcement caught investors by a surprise since most of them expected the bank to hike rates sooner.
This week, the AUD/USD pair will react mostly to economic numbers from the US. The US government will publish the important housing statistics that are expected to show that the sector did well. The US will also publish durable goods orders and GDP data.
