FxWirePro: AUD/USD extends potential "Bearish Bat pattern", bias higher, stay long

  • AUD/USD has shown a breakout above 20-DMA resistance at 0.7455 on Wednesday's trade.
     
  • Aussie shrugs off dismal Q3 GDP and weak trade deficit data and extends higher.
     
  • The pair hit a three-week high of 0.7509 after China's trade data showed imports rose much higher than expected.
     
  • Data released by China’s customs bureau earlier today showed Chinese imports rose 13.00% y/y in Yuan terms, which is far better than the expected rise of 3.6%. 
     
  • Stochs and MACD are biased for further gains. We see weakness only on break below 0.7325 (major trendline support).
     
  • Support levels - 0.7472 (5-DMA), 0.7456 (10-DMA), 0.7449 (20-DMA), 0.74
     
  • Resistance levels - 0.75, 0.7530 (200-DMA), 0.7544 (50% Fib), 0.76 (61.8% Fib)
     
  • Our previous call (http://www.econotimes.com/FxWirePro-Possible-Bearish-Bat-pattern-on-AUD-USD-good-to-go-long-on-dips-435329) has hit TP1.
     

Recommendation: Bias higher. Hold for further upside. Bearish invalidation only below 20-DMA at 0.7450.
