Aussie Dollar Reaching Top?

Aussie Dollar Reaching Top?

The pick of the day is AUD/USD as the pair broke above the 50% Fibonacci level today, remaining above the Ichimoku cloud parting ways with the upward moving Tenkan and Kijun moving averages. The daily RSI is reaching the overbought zone, suggesting we may have reached a top for shorter period, so if you are a shorter term trader in a long position, you might want to consider taking profit at the 0.93 level. For longer term traders, a break above the 61% Fibonacci level on the daily dance floor could take the pair higher towards the top of November 2013 at 0.97130. Now a sudden change in the direction and a break below 0.90724 could alter our bullish perspective with 0.88922 and 0.86825.

In the overnight session, Asian markets took the bait and rallied on the positive US data. This was reinforced by beliefs that Beijing would step in with policy action to spur domestic consumption and boost growth. Meanwhile Japanese and South Korean leaders have been sitting down with President Obama to thaw out their icy relations and try and find a common ground to deal with North Korea, who launched two mid-range missiles into the Japan sea overnight.

Today’s economic calendar is restricted to regional European data, though that does include Italian retail sales and consumer confidence, followed by US mortgage numbers, expected lower because of the weather, services PMI numbers and durable goods orders, which should all have an impact on Wall Street.  Jack Lew, Treasury Secretary, will be testifying at the House of Representatives, which could also spark some debate.
