- AUD/USD breaks major trendline resistance at 0.7925, scope for further upside.
- The pair retraced dip below 23.6% Fib and spiked to fresh session tops near 0.7933 after disappointing US housing market data overnight.
- U.S. housing starts tumbled to an annualized pace of 1.155 million units in July, down 4.8% from 1.215 million units in the previous month.
- Further, Australia jobs data mixed in July. The economy added 27.9K jobs, beating the estimated figure of 20K. The June figure was revised higher to 20K from 14K.
- However, there was an unexpected drop of 20.3K in the full time jobs in July. The part time jobs registered a growth of 48.2K in July compared to the prior month’s drop of 48.0K.
- RBA is also talking down the Aussie, trying to discourage further gains in the exchange rate, which might limit gains.
- Stochs have rolled over from oversold levels and RSI is also biased higher.
