AUD/USD – Minutes reveal the RBA is undecided on future rate hikes

#
  • RBA undecided on future policy moves
  • Markets expect one more hike but not sure when
  • AUDUSD facing significant resistance despite a weaker dollar

    • It’s safe to say there’s quite a balanced debate taking place at the Reserve Bank of Australia right now, with policymakers torn on whether conditions have become restrictive enough and if a little more will do more harm or good.

    While markets appear confident that the RBA will hike once more this year, when that will come is far less clear.

    And as we’ve seen so much this year, expectations have a knack of changing quite considerably over a matter of weeks, let alone months. In other words, investors are no more certain than the policymakers themselves.

    Can AUDUSD break higher amid greenback weakness?

    The mixed messages aren’t helping to deliver much direction for the Australian dollar, with recent moves against the greenback being more driven by the latter’s weakness more so than the strength of the former.

    It ran into resistance recently around 0.6850-0.69 which has historically been a major barrier of support and resistance, most recently in mid-June.

    If it can break above here, 0.70 could be one to watch being a big round figure as well as a key level earlier this year when it made up both shoulders in a head and shoulders pattern.

    If the price continues to pull back as it has in recent days, 0.67 could be very interesting with it being the level that the 55/89 and 200/233-day simple moving average bands merge. It would also fall around the rising trend line from the May lows.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
