Pair's Outlook
The Aussie unexpectedly retreated from its intraday high on Tuesday and closed just under the 0.77 mark, therefore, preserving the resistance trend-line. The US Dollar continued to experience a broad recovery today, which put pressure on the commodities and, thus, commodity-based currencies. The weekly PP at 0.7669 is the closest support, but a drop much lower is more probable. The second area to limit the losses rests out of reach around 0.7580, formed by the 20-day SMA, the weekly S1, the monthly PP and the four-month up-trend. Meanwhile, technical indicators are unable to confirm the outlook, as they keep giving bullish signals.
Traders' Sentiment
Market sentiment remains bearish, taking up 70% of the market. At the same time the share of buy orders surged from 36 to 63%.
