  • RES 3: 0.6726 1.236 proj of the Jun 23 - Jul 24 - Aug 21 price swing

  • PRICE: 0.6547 @ 19:06 BST Sep 26

  • SUP 3: 0.6463/6415 Low Aug 27 / Low Aug 21 / 22 and a bear trigger 
  • SUP 4: 0.6373 Low Jun 23

The AUDUSD uptrend remains intact and the latest pullback is considered corrective - for now. However, the pair has breached support at the 50-day EMA, at 0.6551. A clear break of this average signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes 0.6527 (pierced), a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on 0.6707, the Sep 17 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is 0.6628, the Sep 24 high.
