Australian Dollar
Ticker: AUD=
Price: 0.7159
AUD/USD Outlook
The Australian dollar extends rally into fourth straight day, advancing 2.1% since the base of thick daily cloud contained last week’s steep fall. Fresh risk mode and rally in China’s yuan additionally boosted Aussie, as bulls broke above pivotal Fibo barrier at 0.7161 (38.2% of 0.7413/0.7005) and probed above daily cloud top (0.7186) today.
Bulls need to clear daily cloud top and nearby 20DMA (0.7208) to generate signal for continuation, but daily studies warn of stall as momentum turns sideways (still in negative territory) and stochastic entered overbought territory. Near-term action would remain biased higher above broken Fibo barrier at 0.7161, while return and close below 10DMA (0.7136) would sideline bulls.

Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 84.7486. This is an overbought reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses below 80 The last signal was a buy 3 period(s) ago.

The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 47.20. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a buy 4 period(s) ago.
