As of this writing, the pair is being traded around 0.7687. A hurdle can be noted near 0.7700, the psychological number as well as trendline resistance ahead of 0.7726, the swing high of the last major upside rally as demonstrated in the give below daily chart. A break and daily closing above the 0.7726 resistance shall incite renewed buying interest, validating a move towards the 0.8000 resistance zone in long term. The technical bias shall remain bullish as long as long as the 0.7159 support area is intact.

AUD/USD Looks Poised for Bullish Reversal

RBA’s Governor Speech

Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe has denied the threat of a long undershoot of his 2-3 per cent inflation target but conceded that record-levels of household debt will complicate the task of normalising official interest rates. Warning that many households are suffering from a “sobering combination” of high debt and slow wages growth that will drag on spending, Dr Lowe acknowledged there was a real risk that businesses and consumers will come to think inflation won’t rebound. If inflation expectations are pushed lower in that way, that could entrench the low-rate, low economic growth, low wages trend of recent years – effectively producing a self-perpetuating spiral.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
