Technicals | Jul 09 2012
By Robert Clayton
Friday’s AUD-USD break of 1.0220 should now see the bears pave the road into the low 1.01 territory. Downside potential from the 1.0220 break holds towards the key level holding at support at 0.9965. On the open of the Australasian session should retest Friday’s low and attack the rising trend line at 1.0155-65. From the given weakness, technically this level is vulnerable. Sub 1.0155 then it is highly likely the bears will continue to grow in numbers and continue the decline to 0.9965. Reassess from there. On the topside, fresh advances will likely to struggle towards the 1.0255 resistance. Also to note, the 100-day moving average holds at 1.0254.
