Aussie Crosses in for Period of Softness

 
18 April 2007

By DailyFX – AUDCAD – The AUDCAD rally from .9053 looks like the 5th wave in a 5 wave sequence that began in June 2006… … at .8123.

The long term trend is up as evidenced by the 3 wave decline from 1.0551-.8123 from February
2004 to June 2006. This strongly suggests that the rally from .8123 is
just the first wave in a larger 5 wave rally that will eventually carry
above 1.0551. Near term, we are looking for a correction in a second
wave to test the February low at .9053 (at least) before the next leg
up.

AUDJPY – The AUDJPY may be in the early stages of weakness but a break
below trendline support drawn off of the 3/14 and 3/28 lows is required
before we can confidently get bearish against the 4/17 high of 100.02.
The rally from 88.48 is in 5 waves with an extended 5th wave (which
itself appears to be in 5 waves). Extended 5th waves are often fully
retraced, so we are looking for a move back to 93.79 on a sustained
break of aforementioned trendline support. Both RSI and CCI have rolled
over from above overbought on the daily.

AUDNZD – The AUDNZD broke below short term trendline support yesterday
near 1.1265 and quickly traded down to 1.1163 today before reversing and
rallying to test the breakout point as resistance. Still, a short term
bearish bias is warranted as long as price remains below the former
support line on a daily closing basis. Longer term, the real break and
directional bias comes on a decline below the January low of 1.1055 or a
rally through the March high of 1.1484. A glance at the monthly
suggests that the break will be to the downside as the previous trend is
down.
