Forex: AUD/USD higher above 1.0460 on Aus trade balance
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - With better trade deficit in Australia of last 7 months at -178M vs -1057M previous and -1000M expected, AUD/USD is currently trading at session highs 1.0462 bids, up from the 1.0450 level previous to the data release. Tight ranges still dominate in the pair, with commercial/hedger traders back in the net short side as soon as it approaches to the 1.05 handle, as latest COT report shows.
According to Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at Fxstreet.com: “The hourly chart shows price below 20 SMA and indicators around their midlines, still far from showing a strong upward momentum,” the analyst notes, adding: “In the 4 hours chart, price stands above 20 SMA and indicators in positive territory, although flat: price needs to break recent highs above 1.0480 to confirm a bullish continuation with 1.0550 then at sight,” she concludes.
Valeria sees support levels at: 1.0440, 1.0390 and 1.0360, while resistance levels at: 1.0480, 1.0520 and 1.0550.
