EUR/AUD dropped sharply to as low as 1.6093 last week. The development indicates that rise from 1.5894 has completed at 1.6786 after failing to sustain above 1.6765 resistance. Initial bias remains on the downside this week for 1.5894 support first. At this point, we’d expect strong support from there to bring rebound. But sustained break will carry larger bearish implications and target 1.5683 support next. On the upside, above 1.6247 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first.
In the bigger picture, as long as 1.5894 outlook remains bullish. Firm break of 1.6786 will resume up trend from 1.1602 (2012 low). Next upside target is 61.8% retracement of 2.1127 (2008 high) to 1.1602 at 1.7488. However, sustained break of 1.5894 will have 55 week EMA (now at 1.6005) firmly taken out too. That should indicate medium term topping and target 1.5346 key support next.
In the longer term picture, the rise from 1.1602 long term bottom (2012 low) is still in progress for 61.8% retracement of 2.1127 to 1.1602 at 1.7488. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.5894 remains intact. However, firm break of 1.5894 will be an early sign of major topping and turn focus to 1.5346 key support for confirmation.
