AUD hits new low against the USD

The Australian dollar closed at its weakest against the US dollar since early November, opening the door to extending the broader downtrend since the beginning of this year. This is being reinforced by a Bearish Death Cross between the 20- and 50-day moving averages (MAs) from August, with the former line recently holding as resistance.

However, AUD/USD faces positive relative strength index (RSI) divergence. This is a sign of fading downside momentum, which can at times precede a turn higher. Still, in such an outcome, the MAs could hold as resistance, maintaining the downside technical bias. Otherwise, extending lower places the focus on the 3 November low of 0.6272 before the 2022 bottom of 0.6170 kicks in.

AUD/JPY technical analysis

Meanwhile, against the Japanese yen, the Australian dollar is facing a different technical situation. A symmetrical triangle chart formation has been brewing since earlier this year. Now, AUD/JPY is quickly running out of space to consolidate between rising support and falling resistance. The direction of the breakout could be key for preceding the broader trend.

In the event of an upside breakout, key resistance is the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 94.93. Extending gains could open the door to revisiting the June high of 97.67. Otherwise, key support is the 38.2% level of 93.23. Below the latter sits the midpoint at 91.86. A stronger bearish technical conviction could see the exchange rate drop towards the 61.8% level of 90.49.

    • After rallying on Monday, the Nikkei 225 led the Asian session lower overnight, reversing hopes that losses for Japan had been halted. Rising yields across the globe have driven losses in stocks, though US stocks struggled into positive territory at the close yesterday as some of the selling pressure of the past week eased. However, the theme of higher yields is likely to continue to keep pressuring stocks, resulting in more losses in what is often a difficult period of the year for equities anyway. US lawmakers continue efforts to try and find a short-term funding solution that will avoid a government shutdown. Futures point to a weaker open for Europe and the US, with little heavyweight macro data to detract from the focus on higher yields.
