Aussie tumbles to 4-month low after soft GDPThe Australian dollar has taken a tumble on Wednesday. In the European session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6416, down 1.1% on the day at the time of writing. Earlier, the Australian dollar dropped as low as 0.6407, its lowest level since August 5. Australia’s GDP report was a disappointment, falling short of expectations. GDP rose 0.3% q/q in the third quarter, following three straight quarters of 0.2% growth. This missed the market estimate of 0.5%. Annually, GDP rose 0.8%, below the  Q2 gain of 1% and shy of the market estimate of 1.1%. A key reason why GDP growth has been weak is soft household consumption. Consumers have been battered by high interest  rates and stubborn inflation, and private domestic demand was negligible in the second and third quarters. The soft GDP report was a bust with the markets and sent the Australian dollar tumbling lower. The report is unlikely to cause any changes from the Reserve Bank of Australia, which has been in a prolonged “higher for longer” stance. The RBA has managed to bring headline inflation within the target of 2%-3%, but remains concerned about underlying inflation, which rose to 3.5% in October. The RBA makes its next rate announcement on Dec. 10 and is widely expected to maintain the cash rate at 4.35%, where it has been for over a year. The markets aren’t expecting a rate cut before May 2025, although a surprise decline in inflation in the coming months could push the central bank to lower rates in Q1 2025. AUD/USD has pushed below support at 0.6447. Below, there is support at 0.6382 0.6563 and 0.6613 are the next resistance lines

AUD/USD: The Bear is Lurking – A Breakdown in the Making?Hey Forex fam! 🌍✨ Let’s talk about the Aussie Dollar (AUD) versus the Greenback (USD) – the pair that's been stuck in a battle royale of consolidation! 🧐 But here’s the scoop: the bears are sharpening their claws 🐻, and we might just be on the edge of a big breakdown! 🚨 🔍 The Setup: A Symmetrical Triangle (Bearish Edition!) 📉 Chart pattern: For the last few years, AUD/USD has been dancing between two trendlines, forming a symmetrical triangle – a classic consolidation pattern. Think of it like a coiled spring, ready to pop... but in the bearish direction! 👇 👀 Why bearish? 1️⃣ The triangle is following a long-term downtrend. The pair has been sliding since 2013, and this consolidation looks like a classic continuation pattern. 2️⃣ Momentum is fizzling out as we approach the apex of the triangle – suggesting that a downside breakout could be just around the corner. 📉 Levels to Watch: The Bear's Roadmap Support to break: 0.63 – the bottom of the triangle and a critical level to confirm the bearish breakdown. Next bearish targets: 0.60: A psychological barrier. 0.56: The low not seen since 2008 (ouch!). 💡 Why is the Bear in Control? 1️⃣ Fundamentals 📰: With the Federal Reserve still hawkish 💵 and China’s economic recovery slowing 🐢 (a key driver of AUD strength), the Aussie is under pressure. 2️⃣ Risk sentiment 😬: Investors are flocking to safe-havens like the USD in uncertain markets, leaving the AUD vulnerable. ⏳ Timing the Breakdown ⚡ Be ready for action! The pair is sitting right at the edge of the triangle. A daily close below 0.63 could trigger an avalanche of selling pressure. But remember: wait for confirmation – false breakouts can wreck your P&L! 🚨 🔥 Pro Tips for Trading the Breakdown ✅ Trade the breakout: Short AUD/USD once it closes below 0.63, and target 0.60 or lower. ✅ Set stop-losses: Place them slightly above the triangle (~0.64) to protect against fakeouts. ✅ Patience is key: Don’t rush in – let the price action confirm the direction. The Bearish Bottom Line 🐻 AUD/USD is playing a waiting game, but the technicals and fundamentals both scream downtrend continuation. If the bears break through 0.63, get ready for a dive that could take us to 2008 levels! 📉 Are you ready to ride the bear? 🐻💥 Let me know your thoughts below, and as always, trade safe! 💪✨

AUDUSD TARGET ????AUD/USD is looking bullish, with a potential target of 0.65009. This target is supported by a recent analysis from Action Forex, which suggests a target of 0.6500 ¹. Additionally, the pair has stabilized amid US Dollar pressures and domestic economic factors ². From a technical analysis perspective, the AUD/USD is currently in the first phase of a correction wave, having achieved a local target at 0.6527 ². The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators are also pointing upwards, supporting the bullish view ³. However, it's essential to keep an eye on key resistance levels, such as 0.6670, which could pose a challenge to the upward movement ⁴. To maximize your gains, consider setting a take-profit around 0.65009 and a stop-loss below 0.6420 to limit potential losses.

Australian dollar eyes GDPThe Australian dollar is drifting on Tuesday. In the North American session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6461, down 0.20% on the day at the time of writing. Australia’s economy is expected to improve in the third quarter, with a market estimate of 0.4% q/q. This follows a disappointing gain of 0.2% in Q2, the weakest growth in five quarters, as household spending declined. On a  yearly basis, GDP is expected to tick up to 1.1% compared to 1% in the second quarter. The Australian economy continues to groan under the weight of high interest rates, which the Reserve Bank of Australia implemented in order to tame high inflation. Now that inflation has come down, there is pressure on the RBA to respond with lower rates. The RBA has become an outlier as most major central banks are in the middle of an easing cycle while the RBA has held rates for over a year. RBA Governor Bullock has remained hawkish, reiterating that underlying inflation is too high for the RBA’s liking and that a rate hike is not off the table. Headline inflation has fallen to 2.1%, well within the RBA’s target bank of 2%-3%, but the RBA remains concerned about underlying inflation, which  accelerated in October to 3.5%, up from 3.2% a month earlier. The market isn’t buying the warning of higher rates and expects the next rate move to be a cut sometime in mid-2025. That means that consumers will have to grapple with high rates for months, barring an unexpected fall in underlying inflation. In the US, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday that he is leaning toward a cut in December but could change his mind if inflation surprised on the upside. The US releases November CPI one week prior to the rate announcement and the release will be a key factor as to whether the Fed cuts or maintains interest rates. AUD/USD Technical AUD/USD tested resistance at 0.6478 earlier. Next, there is resistance at 0.6514 0.6441 and 0.6405 are the next support levels
