AUDUSD drop in progress, remain bearish
AUDUSD
Sept. 15, 2016, 04:00
Sell below 0.7500. Stop loss at 0.7525. Take profit at 0.7440.
Reason for the trading strategy (technically):
Price rose to our selling area at 0.7500 as expected (pullback resistance, Fibonacci retracement) and has reacted off that level. We remain bearish selling for a drop towards 0.7440.
RSI (21) is holding below our 54% resistance which is keeping our bearish view.
Reason for the trading strategy (fundamentally):
The main news event driving USD today is the U.S. Advance Retail Sales which is a monthly measure of sales of goods to consumers at retail outlets. The figure is a significant market mover, valuable both for its timeliness and insight into consumer demand and consumer confidence. We’re expecting a positive value here meaning more consumer spending and confidence, leading to strength in the USD. This would go in line with our bearish AUDUSD view we have today
