Market Outlook and Analysis (Sept2019 Week4)
Currency Pair: AUDUSD
Fundamental Analysis – AUDUSD
The Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday reported that the unemployment rate in August ticked up to 5.3% from 5.2% and the AUDUSD ended up 100 pips lower for the week. The disappointing data is causing the market top price in a potential rate cut. Currently the market is pricing in a 80% chance of a rate cut in October.
On 19th Sept, the FOMC made a 0.25% rate cut decision. It was a mixed decision but however the FOMC believes that the US economy is in a good shape.
Technical Analysis – AUDUSD
AUDUSD H4 Chart: (Trade Review) – Resisted by Sell Zone as expected and fell
As per last week’s trade setup, I was expecting a reaction at the Sell Zone, and it did perfectly. Waited for the confirmation before I went short. Too profit at the 0.6817 horizontal level for a +43pips profit.
AUDUSD D1 Chart – The Bears indeed emerged again
The AUDUSD got resisted by the 50% retracement levels from the decline since mid-July. The bear came in to push the pair down after a series of doji in the past week. The pair closed at the lows of the week. There would be no surprise to see this pair test the 0.6680/0.6700 lows.
AUDUSD H4 Chart – Short on Rallies, as long as no change to Fundamentals
The 100pips drop in a week, indicates more downside in the following trading week. The trade idea for next week would be to short on any rallies. Hopefully we could see a bounce up to the 0.6800 levels for a nice short on the support turned resistance levels. Targets could be as low as 0.6700
