AUDUSD - Long-term trend remains downwards
Last week, investors were focused on the publication of economic data from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics: Nonfarm Payrolls for September amounted to 263.0K against the forecast of 250.0K. Also, unemployment significantly decreased from the previous 3.7% to 3.5% against expectations of 3.7%, which investors took extremely positively. Following the news release, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's (CME Group) FedWatch Instrument estimates the likelihood of a 75 basis point hike in November at 77%. Against this background, the AUDUSD pair broke through 0.6390 and is preparing to continue its decline toward 0.6260.
The long-term trend remains downwards. After breaking through 0.6390, the next sell target is 0.6260, after which the price may drop to 0.61.
The medium-term trend is downwards, and within its framework last week, the target zone 4 (0.6336–0.6316) was reached, which investors are trying to break through today, after which the target for sales will be zone 5 (0.6136–0.6116). The key resistance of the trend is shifting to the levels of 0.6501–0.6483.
Resistance levels: 0.639, 0.6525, 0.67 | Support levels: 0.6260, 0.6100
