FxWirePro: 'Bearish Doji Star' formation on AUD/CAD raises scope for downside, good to go short on break below 0.9915 (20-DMA)

  • AUD/CAD dived to over 0.75% on the day, slips below 5-DMA support at 0.9977.
     
  • Aussie slumps across the board on dovish RBA Deputy Governor Debelle's comments.
     
  • Debelle said that a rising AUD is complicating the economy's adjustment and is not welcome.
     
  • Technical indicators are showing a turn. RSI has fallen below 50 and is biased lower. Stochs are on the verge of a bearish rollover from overbought levels.
     
  • We have evidenced a 'Bearish Doji Star' formation on daily charts which adds to the downside bias.
     
  • Key support seen at 20-DMA at 0.9915. Break below could see further drag lower.
