AUD/USD 15-min Foreign exchange Chart by TV
We’ve acquired a bunch of carefully watched U.S. studies on faucet so you recognize we gotta watch a U.S. greenback pair at the moment!
I’m setting my sights on AUD/USD, which is discovering help from the 15-minute Pivot Level line after getting rejected on the .6490 space.
Will AUD/USD lengthen its uptrend from its present ranges? Or will the pair see some extra promoting earlier than the bulls come again?
The U.S. ADP, preliminary GDP, and pending residence gross sales are anticipated to print barely weaker numbers in comparison with its final readings. If the earlier U.S. session is any clue, it might translate to extra USD weak spot.
However China can be releasing its official PMI numbers in the course of the Asian session. Extra importantly, markets see the PMIs coming in weaker than their July figures.
If the studies from the U.S. and China translate to danger aversion in the course of the U.S. and early Asian session buying and selling, then AUD/USD might revisit decrease areas of curiosity like .6450 or .6430.
But when we see extra USD weak spot within the subsequent couple of hours, then AUD/USD might bounce from its present help zone and revisit its weekly highs. It could even hit .6500 if we see sufficient bullish momentum!
