Posted on: Dec 20th, 2012

Moody’s changed Western Australia’s rating outlook to negative, and after some comments by the nation’s worst ever Treasurer Swan, saying that GDP growth is much softer than expected and that a budget surplus is ‘unlikely,’ which may reduce the rate cut pressure on the RBA. After a bit of whipsaw activity,

AUD/USD intraday: capped by a negative trend line.

Pivot: 1.0515
Shayne Heffernan Says: Short positions below 1.0515 with targets @ 1.0455 & 1.044 in extension.
Beware: Above 1.0515 look for further upside with 1.0545 & 1.0565 as targets.
Comment: the pair is rebounding but remains capped by a declining trend line.
