  • AUD/CAD halts upside, slips lower from fresh 3-week highs at 0.9527 hit on Wednesday.
     
  • Heavy selling in the Asian equities weigh on the investors’ appetite for risky/ higher-yielding currencies such as the Aussie, hence upside looks limited.

  • The pair finds strong support at 0.9446 (21-DMA) and then trendline at 0.9430. 
     
  • Weakness only on break below 0.9430, pair could then see test of 0.9360 levels.
     
  • Resistance on the upside seen at 0.9496 (23.6% Fib) and then 0.9527 (June 1st highs).
