AUDNZD 30min

Notes: The reversal off trendline resistance extending off the 2015 high has come into initial support at the lower median-line parallel dating back to the 8/26 low with near-term resistance eyed at 1.1103/07. A break of the RSI resistance trigger shifts the immediate bias to the topside targeting 1.1140.l We’ll reserve this level as our bearish invalidation level with a break through risking a rally back towards the monthly open at 1.1212.

Bottom line: although the immediate risk is for a move higher, we’ll be looking to sell rallies while sub 1.1140 with a break of support targeting subsequent objectives at 1.1067, 1.1013 & 1.0955. A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 31-33 pips per scalp. Caution is warranted heading into Australian event risk later this week with GDP numbers retail sales data likely to fuel added volatility in Aussie crosses.
