AUD/USD, buying dips starting to look attractive

FXstreet.com (Bali) - AUD/USD is starting to show some tentative technical evidence that a more meaningful correction may develop, yet varies layers of heavy offers will certainly pose a tough challenge.

Technically speaking, in view of Jim Langlands, Founder at FXCharts: "I suspect that we have now put in a near term base and if we can take out nearby resistance at 0.9125, then the Aud could accelerate towards the first Fibo resistance at 0.9167 (23.6% of 0.9575/0.8988) which conveniently is where it topped out last week."

Langlands, however, admits that immediate recoveries are still not that clear, and "we could remain for a while in a range below 0.9165, although the dailies are giving the first hint at having turned a bit higher and thus early in the week at least, I would prefer to trade the Aud from the long side and would be looking for dips to buy it."

DXY has more downside work to do following break of 80.53 last week; 79.85 next stop

The DXY has remained under selling pressure despite some positive data on the US economic front – a testament to the “relative strength” factor in dealing with currencies. When will the world buy into US strength?
