Australian Technical Forecast: AUD/USD Weekly Trade Levels

  • AUD/USD reversal off trend resistance now testing uptrend support after RBA holds rates
  • Risk for price inflection into this support early in the month- ADP employment on tap
  • Resistance 6592-6605 (key), 6650, 6723 - Support 6469 (key), 6404, 6351/57

The Australian Dollar is poised to snap a three-week rally with AUD/USD marking a fifth consecutive daily decline on the heels of the RBA rate decision. The decline takes Aussie into the median-line of the yearly uptrend, and the focus now turns to whether price can stabilize here or if a deeper decline will unfold into November trade. Battle lines drawn on the AUD/USD weekly technical chart.

Technical Outlook: In last month’s Australian Dollar Forecast we noted that AUD/USD was testing, “uptrend support and the focus is on possible inflection off this slope. From a trading standpoint, rallies should be limited to 6565 IF price is heading for a break lower on this stretch with a close below the median-line needed to fuel the next major leg of the decline.” Aussie rallied more than 2.7% off those lows but failed to mark a weekly close above 6565 with a five-day decline now approaching the median-line. Once again, the threat for inflection rises into this slope.

Weekly support remains with the July low-week close (LWC) at 6469. Note that the 2022 trendline (red) converges on this level over the next few weeks and a break / weekly close below would suggest a more significant high is in place / a larger correction is underway. Subsequent support objectives rest with the 38.2% retracement / 52-week moving average at 6404/15 and the 100% extension of the September decline / February high-week close (HWC) at 6351/57- both levels of interest for possible downside exhaustion / price inflection IF reached. Broader bullish invalidation rests with the 2025 LWC at 6290.

Resistance stands with the 2025 HWC and the 61.8% retracement of the September decline at 6592-6605. Note that the 2022 trendline converges on this threshold over the next few weeks and further highlights the technical significance of this region. A topside breach / close above this hurdle would be needed to suggest a more significant low is in pace / resumption of the yearly uptrend. Subsequent resistance objectives eyed at the 2025 high-close at 6650 and the 78.6% retracement of the 2024 decline at 6723.

Whitepaper

Bottom line: AUD/USD is testing uptrend support on the heels of the RBA rate decision, and the focus is on possible inflection off the median-line. From a trading standpoint, rallies would need to be limited to 6605 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 6469 needed to fuel the next leg of this decline within the broader uptrend.

Keep in mind that Non-Farm Payrolls will be postponed for a second month amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, and traders will be closely watching tomorrow’s ADP employment report for insight into labor market conditions. Stay nimble into the November opening-range and watch the weekly close for guidance here.

Gold and S&P 500 analysis: What now after Warsh’s hawkish speech?

The dollar surged across the board after the Fed Chair Kevin Warsh surprised with a hawkish-leaning speech at the Jackson Hole summit. All the bearish dollar bets that had been accumulated since last Friday on the back of data weakness and bond market troubles had to be squared and that triggered a short squeeze rally for the dollar. Gold and silver dropped, as a result, as too did bitcoin, while US indices were giving back earlier gains.
