AUDUSD trade ideas

Australian GDP beats forecast, Aussie edges higherThe Australian dollar has extended its gains on Wednesday.  AUD/USD is trading at 0.6271 in the European session, up 0.20% on the day.  The Australian dollar jumped 0.75% on Tuesday, driven by the hawkish Reserve Bank of Australia minutes and a solid retail sales report. Australia's economy expanded by 1.3% y/y in the fourth quarter of 2024, up from 0.8% in Q3 and above the market estimate of 1.2% and the RBA's forecast of 1.1%.  This marked the fastest pace of growth since Q4 2023. Quarterly, GDP grew by 0.6%, following 0.3% in Q3 and higher than the market estimate of 0.5%. This was the fastest pace of growth since Q4 2022.  The strong gain was driven by strong increases in household spending and exports. The positive GDP report follows last week's rate cut, after the central bank held rates for over a year. The cash rate is currently at 4.10%, its lowest level since Oct. 2023. The RBA has remained hawkish, even with the rate cut. The minutes of the meeting stated that members remained concerned that further cuts could jeopardize maintaining inflation in the target range of 2%-3%. The markets are more dovish and expect the cash rate to fall to 3.6% by the end of the year, which would mean two more cuts of 25 basis points.  The central bank's rate path will largely depend on the inflation levels as well as the strength of the labor market, which has been surprisingly robust despite high interest rates and a weak economy. In China, this week's PMIs are pointing to slightly stronger growth. The Caixin Manufacturing PMI for February improved to 50.8, up from 50.1 in January and above the market estimate of 50.3. The Caixin Services PMI rose to 51.4, up from 51.0 in January and above the market estimate of 50.8. AUD/USD is testing resistance at 0.6228.  Above, there is resistance at 0.6251 0.6200 and 0.6177 are providing support

AUD/USD Technical AnalysisCurrent Market Trend: Bearish 📉 AUD/USD has been in a strong downtrend, experiencing significant selling pressure. After a continuous decline, the pair has now found support around the 0.61900 level, where buyers have stepped in, leading to a short-term rebound. Possible Scenarios: 📈 Bullish Scenario: If AUD/USD manages to break and hold above the 0.62200 resistance level, we may see further upside movement toward 0.62300 and potentially 0.62800. A successful breakout above 0.62800 could signal a trend reversal, leading to further bullish momentum. 📉 Bearish Scenario: If the pair fails to break above 0.62200, selling pressure may increase, pushing the price lower. A move below 0.61900 could indicate weakness, with the next downside targets at 0.61700 and 0.60900. A break below 0.60900 would confirm a deeper bearish trend, opening the door for further downside moves. Trading Strategy: Bullish entry: After a confirmed breakout above 0.62200, targeting 0.62800 with a stop-loss below 0.61900. Bearish entry: If the price rejects 0.62200, looking for short positions with targets at 0.61700 and 0.60900.

AUD/USD Trend Today - Continue to Fall?🔔🔔🔔AUD/USD news: 👉Trade continues to play a significant role in currency markets, with risk-sensitive currencies like the Australian Dollar under pressure as tariff disputes escalate. The White House maintains a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, which could negatively affect the Australian economy, given that China is its largest export partner. A slowdown in Chinese demand may weaken Australian commodity exports, putting downward pressure on the AUD. 👉Domestically, an anticipated rise in Australian Retail Sales may provide some support for the currency. Consumer spending, as reflected in Retail Sales data, increased by 0.3% in January after a 0.1% decline in December. 👉Meanwhile, the US Dollar is facing headwinds as market expectations grow that the Federal Reserve may restart its monetary easing cycle in June. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of a Fed rate cut in June has risen to 87%, up from 69% a week ago. Personal opinion: 👉Tariff policies remain the main influence that could cause the AUD to underperform the USD. 👉However, the US 10-year bond yield fell and the DXY fell for the second consecutive day, which could cause the AUD/USD to recover slightly. But overall, the downtrend is still maintained in the short term. Analysis: 👉SBased on important resistance - support and Fibonacci levels combined with trend lines and SMA to come up with a suitable strategy Plan: 🔆 Price Zone Setup: 👉Sell AUD/USD 0.6230 - 0.6240 ❌SL: 0.6275 | ✅TP: 0.6190 - 0.6150 -0.6110 FM wishes you a successful trading day 💰💰💰

RBA minutes hawkish, Aussie edges higherThe Australian dollar has edged higher on Tuesday.  AUD/USD is trading at 0.6243 in the European session, up 0.28% on the day. The Reserve Bank of Australia's minutes from the February meeting reiterated the central bank's cautious stance.  The meeting marked a milestone as the RBA pressed the rate-cut trigger for the first time in four years, after maintaining the cash rate at 4.35% for over a year.  The decision was a "hawkish cut" with a message for the markets not to expect a series of rate cuts. In the minutes, members said the rate cut did not "commit them to further rate cuts", a warning that the easing cycle could be short.  The RBA remains concerned about inflation even though it has dropped to 2.4%, in the mid-range of the RBA's target band of 2%-3%.  Governor Bullock has said that the RBA is keeping a close eye on the labor market, which has been resilient and not supportive of further rate cuts. Another headache for the RBA is the threat of US tariffs, in particular the specter of another US-China trade war.  Both countries have imposed new tariffs on the other, and a damaging trade war would hurt Australia's export industry, as China is Australia's largest trading partner. Australia's retail sales posted a turnaround in January, with a gain of 0.3% m/m.  This matched the market estimate and followed the 0.1% decline in December.  The driver of the gain was food-related spending and most sub-categories showed an increase in spending.  The outlook for consumer spending has improved, with the RBA rate cut, the drop in inflation and cuts to income tax. AUD/USD is testing resistance at 0.6228.  Above, there is resistance at 0.6251 0.6200 and 0.6177 are providing support

AUDUSD BULLISH AUDUSD is currently in a bearish trend. However, a bullish divergence has formed on the RSI, signaling potential weakening of the downside momentum. I will look for a buy opportunity with a buy stop order placed above the most recent lower high (LH). The trade setup will be activated only if price breaks above the LH, confirming a possible shift in structure and validation of the divergence signal."
