AUD/USD: Growing odds of a minor rebound

After an initial attempt to break higher in late August, AUD/USD is back around its August lows. However, a new/minor high created at the end of last month raises the prospect of AUD/USD retesting the 200-period moving average on the 240-minute charts (now at about 0.6500).

Zooming out, in recent weeks, AUD/USD has been attempting to hold above quite strong support on a downtrend line from the end of 2022. Any break above the August 30 low of 0.6525 could indicate the start of a material consolidation. That’s because, on higher timeframe charts, including the weekly charts, AUD/USD is looking oversold and is showing tentative signs of fatigue.

EUR/AUD: Consolidation within a broadly bullish phase

The failure of EUR/AUD to resume its uptrend last week could be a sign that the consolidation that started last month isn’t over. EUR/AUD retreated from near a tough hurdle at the end-August highs of around 1.6880, coinciding with the upper edge of the Ichimoku cloud on the 240-minute charts.

The cross is now testing a vital floor area: the 200-period moving average, slightly above a horizontal trendline since August (at about 1.6635). Any break below 1.6635 could raise the odds of further losses, initially toward 1.6450.

GBP/AUD: Testing a crucial cushion

GBP/AUD is testing a crucial converged cushion: the 200-period moving average, coinciding with a horizontal trendline from the end of August (at about 1.9450), not too far from an uptrend line from June. A hold above the support area is key for the uptrend to resume.

To be sure, a break below isn’t imminent, but any break below would point to an extended consolidation with a slightly weak bias. On the upside, GBP/AUD would need to break above last week’s high of 1.9750 for the bullish bias to resume.

    • Mobile Battle Royale games have taken the gaming world by storm. Titles like Fortnite and PUBG Mobile have dominated the market. Now, a new wave of games, such as Blast Royale, is leveraging blockchain technology to revolutionize the genre. By integrating blockchain, games like Blast Royale allow players to truly own their in-game assets. This means players can trade or sell items they've earned, adding a new dimension of value and engagement. The community-driven approach of these games is another key factor. Players actively participate in shaping the game's future, fostering a strong bond between developers and the community. This ensures the game evolves in line with player preferences. With the upcoming listing of the $NOOB token on exchanges like Bitget, the future of blockchain-powered Battle Royale games looks promising. This technology has the potential to take the genre to new heights.  
    • This topic really caught my eye. I totally agree that the 32 ETH requirement is a huge hurdle for a lot of people looking to get into staking on ethereum. I remember when I first heard about ETH staking; I was so excited but felt overwhelmed by the amount needed. I stumbled upon Puffer Finance recently and found it pretty intriguing. The idea that you can stake with just 1 or 2 ETH sounds like a game-changer! I mean, it opens the door for so many more people to participate and help secure the network. Plus, the anti-slashing technology seems promising for those who are worried about losing their stake.
