U.S. dollar is on the defensive once more early Wednesday, particularly against other growth-leveraged currencies such as the Australian dollar, following an uptick in U.S. inflation.
The dollar is extending losses on Wednesday after the U.S. government reported the previous session that consumer inflation rebounded 0.6% month-on-month, the most in nearly eight years, in June, easing worries concerning deflationary pressures from the economic downturn.
Helping to limit gains was a report from Westpac that showed a drop in consumer sentiment that reversed all of last month’s spectacular gain, taking the index back to the weak levels seen in might but still leaving it 16% above April’s extreme low of 75.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Analysis
The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. The uptrend was reaffirmed earlier today when buyers took out the minor top at .7001. A trade through .6833 will change the main trend to down.
The minor trend also reversed to the upside following a one-day setback. The minor trend can change to down on a trade through .6921. this will also shift momentum to the downside.
The short-term range is .7065 to .6777. Its 50% level at .6921 is support. This level stopped the selling on Tuesday.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Forecast
We’d prefer to see the AUD/USD sustain a rally over .7001. If this move creates enough upside momentum then look for a possible surge into the main tops at .7065 and .7082 over the near-term.
Falling back beneath .7001 will be the first sign of weakness, while a close under .6975 will form a potentially bearish price reversal top. taking out the price cluster at .6921, formed by the 50% level and minor bottom at .6921 will shift momentum to the downside.
