AUD/USD Technical Analysis: tests key trendline support after false breakout, dismal China PMI release

  • The AUD/USD pair printed an intraday low of 0.7073 a few minutes before press time and is currently trading just above the support of the trendline connecting the Oct. 26 low and Oct. 29 low.
  • The inverse head-and-shoulders breakout failed earlier today and the pair fell back below 0.71 after Australian data showed that inflation growth slowed in the third quarter.
  • Further, China manufacturing PMI fell to 50.2 in October, the lowest reading in over two years, sending the AUD down to the trendline support. Acceptance below that level may allow a re-test of the recent low of 0.7021 (Friday’s low).
  • On the higher side, 0.7122 (Asian session high) is the level to beat for the bulls.
