Current trend
During the Asian session on Wednesday, the AUD/USD pair was under pressure from weaker-than-expected inflation figures, released in Australia.
Falling commodity prices, a decline in exports to China reduce Australia’s export earnings, thus, adding pressure on the county’s budget.
If the Fed decides to keep interest rates unchanged today, the RBA, in its turn, may face the necessity to lower its interest rates at the forthcoming meeting. Lower exchange rate of the national currency would allow the Regulator to support the economy, accelerate the inflation and draw up the budget.
Support and resistance
The AUD/USD pair has declined back to the closing levels of August. On the weekly chart, the price is trading within a downward channel with the lower border below the level of 0.6800.
The breakdown of the lower border 0.7070 of an upward channel on the daily chart may lead to a decline towards year lows at the level of 0.6900.
OsMA and Stochastic indicators on the 4-hour and daily charts recommend short positions. On the weekly chart, the indicators are starting giving sell signals as well.
The pair may grow to the levels of 0.7380 (October highs), 0.7430 (EMA144 on the daily chart), 0.7500 (23.6% Fibonacci) only after the consolidation above 0.7210 (EMA50 on the daily chart).
