The $0.9360 level confirmed its significance with the AUD/USD bouncing from this level to take out $0.9424. Immediate focus has now shifted to a test of the falling 21-DMA with overall focus having turned to a test of the 200-DMA and then the Oct monthly high above. The $0.9360 level remains initial support with a close back below needed to relieve the current bullish focus. O/S daily tech studies are supportive of further topside as they look to correct.

NZD/USD: A close below Friday’s low remains needed to relieve the current bullish focus and see attention shift back to a retest of the key $0.8159-76 support region with a close below needed to see focus shift lower to tests of the 2013 low. While the $0.8268 level supports further tests and an eventual break above the Nov 6 is favoured with overall focus currently on a test of the Oct monthly high.

AUD/NZD: A close above Thursday’s high remains needed to relieve the bearish focus while a close above the 21-DMA is now needed to shift overall focus higher. The falling 21 day lower Bollinger band comes in around NZ$1.1206 with oscillation around the lower Bollinger band expected to continue while NZ$1.1305 caps. Correcting oversold daily tech studies are a concern and could limit bearish follow through until correcting back to more neutral levels.
