MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - AUD Prints 8th Higher High

Price Signal Summary – AUD Prints 8th Consecutive Higher High

• S&P E-Minis are holding on to their recent gains following the recovery from the Nov 21 low. The climb has resulted in a breach of the 20- and 50- day EMAs. Recent gains in EUROSTOXX 50 futures undermine a recent bearish theme and the contract is holding on to its gains. Price has cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs, signalling scope for a stronger recovery.
• The trend theme in GBPUSD remains bearish and gains are considered corrective - for now. However, price has recently pierced the 50-day EMA, currently at 1.3255. The trend set-up in USDJPY is bullish and recent weakness appears corrective. Note that a deeper retracement would allow a recent overbought condition to unwind. AUDUSD continues to appreciate and price action remains above the 20- and 50-day EMAs. This week’s gains have resulted in a breach of a short-term trendline resistance at 0.6544, drawn from the Sep 17 high.
• The trend condition in Gold is unchanged and remains bullish. The bear phase between Oct 20 and 28 appears to have been a correction and note that the recovery since Oct 28 signals the end of that corrective cycle. Recent gains in WTI futures are considered corrective. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend.
• Bund futures remain soft following a strong sell-off on Monday. The move down resulted in a break of key short-term support at 128.37, the Nov 20 low. A bullish condition in Gilt futures remains intact following recent gains and for now, the latest pullback appears corrective. A resumption of gains would signal scope for a climb towards resistance at 92.55, the Nov 11 high.
