  • Next support is below the 147.00 figure at 146.77 Low Sep 18.
  • The Aussie was one of the worst overnight performer, the Risk Tone tilted to the downside may have weighted somewhat, but AUDUSD has now bounced off its earlier to be flat on the day.

A bull cycle in S&P E-Minis remains intact. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 6756.75, the Sep 22 high where a break would resume the primary uptrend. This would open 6787.63, a Fibonacci projection. On the downside, initial support to watch lies at the 20-day EMA, at 6656.22. It has been pierced, a clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement, potentially towards the 50-day EMA, at 6541.51.

WTI futures have pulled back from their recent gains. The contract has recently breached $65.43, the Sep 2 high and this has potentially improved the S/T condition for bulls. However, the next key resistance is at $68.43, the Jul 30 high, where a break is required to signal scope for a stronger recovery. For bears, a clear reversal lower would refocus attention on key support at $60.85, the Aug 13 low. A break of this level would reinstate the downtrend.
