Key Quotes

AUD/USD: The recent expectation for a move below 0.7620 is proven wrong with AUD moving back above the key shortterm level at 0.7790 last Friday.”

“We view the current movement as part of a neutral sideway consolidation range and expect this pair to trade between 0.7700 and 0.7920 for this week.”

“Support: 0.7700, 0.7620”

“Resistance: 0.7840, 0.7920”

NZD/USD: The upward momentum continues to improve and the clear break above the short-term key resistance at 0.7465 suggests further NZD strength this week.”

“Overbought short-term conditions may lead to a pull-back first but unless there is a break below the key support at 0.7340, we expect a move towards 0.7605.”

“Support: 0.7400, 0.7340”

“Resistance: 0.7550, 0.7605”
