AUD/USD Technicals

  • Asian session:  AUD USD dropped sharply and bounced off the critical 0.9660 level. It later lost that as well.

  • Further levels in both directions: Below   0.9540, 0.9460, 0.9366. Above 0.9660, 0.9725,  0.9863,  0.9915,  1.0000, 1.0080, 1.0180, 1.0220, 1.03.

AUD/USD Fundamentals

  • 22:30 (Thursday) Glenn Stevens’ dovish comment hurt the Aussie.

AUD/USD Sentiment

  • North Korean attack on South Korea surprises the world and triggers risk aversive trading. The Aussie is sensitive to this news, and now suffers from the fresh Korean tensions.
  • Contagion spreading: Fears that Spain and Italy will also need bailout packages impacts the whole world, not only the Euro. Portugal might receive aid soon.
  • Light Thanksgiving trading means that the markets will probably hardly move until a major news, from Europe for example, can rock the markets on thin trading volume.
  • Currensee Community: 92% are short, 8% are long. 358 open positions in real accounts trading this pair at the moment. The community continues seeing more falls in AUD/USD.
