The EUR/AUD is having a zoned bearish rejection. Zoned bearish rejection means that the entry signal pattern happened exactly within the borders of the MEGATREND moving averages and the break below is a signal to enter a short. In this it is the NFP low that has been taken out. Targets for this move are 1.4619 and 1.4380.

The Reserve Bank of Australia raised interest rates by 50bp on Aug 2. In the RBA statement, Governor Lowe hinted at further rate hikes to come. Also, Lowe added that the RBA would do whatever is necessary to reduce inflation back to target in a due time. With the RBA projection inflation will be around 7.75% over 2022 and the Bank’s inflation target between 2% and 3%, this is a hint for more rate hikes to come.

This analysis, and all entry signals and targets are a part of the Megatrend trading course. I have 1 short position that I will maintain until intraday target and possible swing.The intraday target is 1.4619 while the intraweek target is similar to swing target. Swing target is 1.4380. Position management is very important once you are in a trade.

EUR/USD: Trapped in 1.01-1.03 range trading, but for how long?

(Vasilis Tsaprounis – TopFX)

In the area of 1,02 the common European currency is trading on the first day of the week after Friday’s sharp volatility in the wake of announcements on new jobs in the US.

The pair is unable to take any specific direction as as we have already mentioned it continue to hold reasons for trade in both directions.

On the one hand, the European economy, which has come to a more unfavorable position due to the developments with the war in Ukraine, the high inflationary pressures it is receiving and the economic slowdown.

However, the market shows that it has ” price in ” these developments to some percentage. That is why the currency reached 3 weeeks ago to trade even temporarily below the level of 1/1 , marking a 20-year low . But then it showed significant signs of reaction by returning to the levels of 1,03 and although remain mildly bearish momentum the pair is showing particular resistances and re-approaching level 1/1 is having difficulties.

Οn the other hand, the American currency is quite sensitive to risk aversion or not. It has received some liquidation in the last few days as the international stock markets have recorded some rise, so dollar purchases as a safe haven currency are not so necessary.

For now we will maintain our previous position of buying euro on market dips, behavior which has been confirmed in high percentages recently and we would not expect any significant divergence especially in view of the announcements on the course of inflation in the US economy on Wednesday.

Looking at GBPUSD’s chart, we can see that it is traded at around 1.21 with an upward trend. Today if this upward direction continues, we can see the rate testing its resistance level at around 1.2150 and if able to pass it then we should see it rising towards its next resistance level otherwise it should fall towards its support level at around 1.2030-1.2060.
