AUD/USD consolidated last week’s move lower by trading around the lower end of last week’s range to start the new week, with the bounce from fresh 2013 lows stalling ahead of the $0.9312 resistance level. We continue to look for a close back above the $0.9312 level to relieve the immediate bearish focus while a close back above the $0.9920 level is needed to see focus turn to higher levels and away from our current $0.8771 target.

NZD/USD managed a brief spike back above the 200-WMA to start the new week after having dipped to fresh 2013 lows once again. We will continue to look for a close back above the $0.7897 June 20 high to relieve the immediate focus that sees the pair targeting a test of the $0.7373-0.7461 region from 2011-12. Overall the pair needs to close above the $0.8154 resistance level to hint at a shift higher in focus.

The Jpy88.82-92.54 range will be key for the AUD/JPY this week. Stops noted below Jpy88.82 and a break below would help the pair towards our current target at Jpy85.27. Topside the pair needs to close back above the June 14 Jpy92.54 high, with the 200-DMA noted just below (Jpy92.20), to relieve the immediate bearish pressure. Overall a close back above the Jpy97.00 level is needed to shift focus back to 2013 highs.
