As aussie has remained under pressure after meeting renewed selling interest around the Tenkan-Sen, suggesting near term downside risk remains for the retreat from 0.8066 temporary top to bring retracement of recent upmove, hence weakness to 0.7760 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 0.7571-0.8066) cannot be ruled out, however, reckon downside would be limited to previous resistance at 0.7712 and 0.7670-75 would hold from here, bring another rebound later this month.
On the upside, whilst recovery to 0.7855-60 is likely, reckon upside would be limited to 0.7900 and bring another decline. Only a daily close above 0.7925-30 would suggest low is formed, bring test of resistance at 0.7980 but a sustained breach above 0.8000 is needed to signal the pullback from 0.8066 has ended, bring retest of this level later. Looking ahead, a break above 0.8066 would confirm upmove has resumed and extend the medium term erratic rise from 0.6827 to 0.8163 resistance, then 0.8200, however, loss of near term upward momentum should limit upside and reckon another previous resistance at 0.8295 would hold.
Recommendation: Stand aside for now.
On the weekly chart, as aussie has continued trading lower after retreating from 0.8066, suggesting near term downside risk remains for retracement of recent upmove, a weekly close below the Tenkan-Sen (now at 0.7800) would bring correction to 0.7750, however, a sustained breach below previous resistance at 0.7712 is needed to signal a temporary top has been formed, bring test of the Kijun-Sen (now at 0.7698), then towards 0.7600-10 but support at 0.7571 should contain weakness.
On the upside, expect recovery to be limited 0.7855-60 and 0.7925-30 should hold, bring another retreat. Above 0.7980 resistance would revive near term bullishness and suggest the pullback from 0.8066 has ended, bring retest of this level, break there would extend recent upmove from 0.6827 low to previous resistance at 0.8163, then 0.8250, however, near term overbought condition should limit upside to another previous resistance at 0.8295 and price should falter below 0.8390-00, bring retreat later.
