FxWirePro: EUR/AUD recovers some ground but bears are not done yet

• EUR/AUD strengthened on Tuesday  as soured risk sentiment offset hawkish RBA minutes.

• RBA minutes showed policymakers debated holding rates steady or hiking 25 bps to 4.35% at the May meeting.

•  Eight of the nine RBA board members saw a stronger case for a rate hike, citing rising inflation risks from the prolonged Middle East conflict and concerns that a 4.1% cash rate may not be restrictive enough.

•  Members agreed to closely watch incoming data and evolving risks, while noting monetary policy could not change the near-term inflation path and economic growth was likely to remain below potential for some time.

• Markets are pricing in around a 75% chance of another rate hike in August, with interest rates expected to peak near 4.60% and some risk of rising as high as 4.85%.
.
•  Immediate resistance is located at 1.6360(38.2%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.6504(Higher BB)

•    Support is seen at 1.6277( SMA20) and break below could take the pair towards 1.6110(23.6%fib)..

Recommendation: Good to sell   around 1.6350, with stop loss of 1.6480 and target price of 1.6290
