Aussie Currencies Technicals

Monday’s bounce has been followed up with fresh 2014 and fresh 9 month highs with immediate focus having shifted to the $0.9536-49 region. Initial support is now noted in the $0.9444-61 region with bears needing a close back below $0.9444 to ease the current bullish pressure. Daily studies are heading higher with room to move before O/S becomes an issue. The only limiting factor is the close above the upper Bollinger which are usually unsustainable.

The move higher for the NZD/USD Tuesday has again stalled ahead of the 2014 high set last week and combined with O/B daily studies could be hinting at a correction. In saying that, bears continue to look for a close below $0.8727 to ease bullish pressure whereas a close below the $0.8642 support is needed to hint at a deeper correction. While $0.8727 supports bulls target 2014 highs and the $0.8840-0.8920 region above.

The close above the 100-DMA has eased the previous bearish pressure and combined with O/S daily studies looking to correct is hinting at higher levels. Bulls now need a close above the 21-DMA to add further support to the bullish case with overall focus having shifted to the NZ$1.0911-37 region and the 200-DMA noted at NZ$1.0928. Bears now need to see a close below NZ$1.0784 to ease bullish pressure and below NZ$1.0708 to shift focus back to 2014 lows.

The bounce from the 55-DMA Monday was followed up with a sharp move higher Tuesday that has come within a pip of the 2014 high. Bullish focus now dominates with bulls looking for fresh 2014 highs and a relatively bullish close that will see focus shift to the Y98.16-99.06 region last seen back in May 2013. Bears now look for a close below the Y95.88 level that previously capped to ease the current bullish pressure.

Despite recently closing marginally above the falling daily trend line and 21-DMA the EUR/AUD remained capped ahead of the June 5 high. The failure to take out A$1.4552 has seen bearish focus remain with bears initially targeting the 2014 low and then the Nov 2013 monthly low while A$1.4552 caps. Bulls need a close above A$1.4552 to confirm an easing of bearish pressure and shift overall focus to the 200-DMA (A$1.4878).
