Next 1-3 weeks: “We highlighted one week ago (19 Sep, spot at 0.6820) that AUD has made a short-term top. As AUD continues to move lower, we ‘upgraded’ the downside risk and our latest narrative was from Monday (23 Sep, spot at 0.6770) wherein “a break of 0.6755 would shift the focus to the next support at 0.6700”. After staging a recovery on Tuesday (24 Sep), AUD reversed and plunged to a low of 0.6739 yesterday (26 Sep). The price action indicates that AUD remains weak and the next focus is at 0.6700. On the upside, the ‘strong resistance’ level has moved lower to 0.6805 from 0.6820 previously. Only a break of the ‘strong resistance’ would indicate that the current weakness has stabilized”.
