AUD/NZD cracks 1.2000, further downside ahead?

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/NZD finished the day sharply lower, losing 77 pips to close at 1.1955 which was just below key support at 1.1991 (the 20dma)

From a technical perspective, the sharply lower close has given the advantage back to the bears in the short term. Price is now back below both the 9 and 20dma’s, which could help influence a sell the rally type of mentality as we progress through the week. The RSI (14) also remains in bearish set up, failing near the 50 level and now sitting at 41.75.

The FXStreet.com Trend Index remains in slightly bearish set up on the 1hour chart, while the ob/os index remains neutral. Initial support sits at 1.1936 (previous day low), followed by 1.1907 (low from 5/31). Initial resistance sits at 1.1991 (the 20dma), followed by 1.2030 (open from previous day).

Asia in the red following the US

Mostly all local share markets are in the red today, following US equity markets, with SP500 closing in NY down -1.38%.

Economic data set to heighten volatility in EUR/USD

The EUR/USD traded in narrow range for a second day in a row, climbing as high as 1.3114 at one point but edging lower at the end of the day to close up 10 pips at 1.3092. Some analysts were pointing towards the weaker the ADP jobs release, as well at the Non-Manufacturing ISM Data as a catalysts which maybe have supported the strength in the pair. Given the fact we will see the ECB Rate Decision tomorrow, followed by the Non Farm Payroll figures Friday, market participants should expect heightened volatility throughout the rest of the week.
