AUDUSD has been trending lower recently and is now moving inside a descending channel on its 4-hour chart. Price just bounced off support and is looking to pull back to the resistance at the .7450 minor psychological level.
The USDCAD pair had a very rough session on Thursday, initially surging much higher, then pulling back drastically, only to bounce again to the highs, and then pulling back to show weakness yet again.
The Australian dollar had an interesting session, initially falling, perhaps in sympathy to the moves in the New Zealand dollar.
After initially gapping higher on Monday, the EURUSD pair has fallen apart. This was a “buy the rumor, sell the news” type of situation when it came to the French elections, and this pullback has been absolutely brutal.
The AUDUSD pair fell during the day on Tuesday, as the 0.74 level continues to offer resistance.
The US dollar continues to grind sideways against the Canadian dollar as we have seen over the last couple of days. I believe that the market breaking down in WTI Crude suggests that the market will eventually go higher.
The Australian dollar fell a bit during the day on Thursday, as we continue to see weakness in the commodity markets. Gold markets fell apart, and that of course is a very negative when it comes to the Australian dollar.
The EURUSD pair rally during the day on Thursday, slamming into the 1.0950 level. That is the top of the recent consolidation area though, and with the job number coming out during the day as well, I believe that it makes sense that the market will probably struggle to make any real headway now.
The Australian dollar rallied on Monday, breaking well above the 0.75 level during the day, and crashed into the 0.7540 level. This is an area that could feature some resistance based upon a cluster from April 25, so I’m not excited about buying in this general vicinity.
