Australia is on sale

I don’t think the bottom in the AUD/USD is in yet but its close.

Holding 0.6170 is a requisite.

Irrespective, Australia is on sale.

AUD/USD remains sideways

Whilst the AUD/USD is currently in a medium and longer term upward trend, I think that it looks constrained around the 0.6750 – 0.6722 mark.

My read is that it needs make a ‘higher high’. If not, the AUD/USD will continue its digestive and consolidation pattern lower.

and so….it would go for commodities and bond yields.

Now, AUD/USD is full

In late August 2023, I wrote that the AUD/USD should hold the 0.63/0.64 mark…..and that I didn’t believe the pundits calls back then that it would trade to 60 cents.

It’s lowest weekly closing price was 0.6295.

4 months later, the AUDUSD is now trading at 0.6870 which is 2.5 standard deviations above its weekly mean.

If the strength of the current uptrend wanes, the AUD/USD will lose steam between its current price and 0.70000.

It’s good enough. So far, this has been a 9% move within those 4 months.

Also likely to hamper its progress {sic} will include those same ‘wealth management’ pundits prediction of a 75 cents price.

This advance in the AUD (versus the USD) had a corollary to the ‘risk-on’ feeling that markets exhibited.

It’s pending exhaustion will have the opposite.

Time to watch the AUD again

There is more to this analysis, but the chart and notations below are keeping simple.

Today, the AUD/USD needs to break that most immediate previous high of 0.6818, but I think it’ll peak and exhaust itself at 0.6805 (+/- 10bps)

Watching this currency cross along with the AUD/JPY could provide an interesting analog and correlation to ‘risk’ and a queue on the Nasdaq 100.

Crude Oil and AUD/USD watch

3 days ago, I wrote that Oil needed a quick drop of ‘$2 or $3’ in order to extend some strength in oil’s current downtrend.

WTI Crude fell $4.75 on Friday, closing its trading week at $78.74

Equally, the AUD/USD exhibited expected weakness during Friday’s session. It closed at 0.6531.

So, I’ll watch for how the AUD/USD and WTI Crude symbiotically test their next respective levels of 0.6464 and $77.50, as neither ‘daily’ downtrends are confirming continuing strength.

Hint: probability is rising that we are at the tail-end (+/- 3%-6%) of the downdraft in both assets.
