Just last week, when volatility increased across the board, the pair made a decisive push lower which invalided a one year old bullish channel in favor of further sell-offs in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/capitaltrustmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/AUDCAD22ndSeptember.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6615\" src=\"http:\/\/capitaltrustmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/AUDCAD22ndSeptember.png\" alt=\"AUDCAD22ndSeptember\" width=\"700\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the 9\/22 US trading session is underway, AUD\/CAD is trading around 0.9760, probing one of the strongest support clusters in this area. Price is well below all the large moving averages (50, 100 and 200 SMA), consequently we have to rely on old support and Fibonacci levels to gauge areas of interest. 0.9730\/40 was a strong price pivot zone in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> half of 2013. Additionally, this area is strengthened by a Fibonacci confluence between 0.9758 (50% from 0.9168 up to 1.0348) and 0.9768 (61.8% from 0.9409 up to 1.0348). With Stochastic showing extreme oversold conditions on 4H and Daily timeframes, it will be interesting to see if offers in this area can help the pair spring back to 0.9830 \u2013 0.900 for a re-test of previous support levels, before the downtrend resumes.<\/p><div id=\"inves-2352914027\" class=\"inves-in-content inves-entity-placement\"><hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads_header\">\r\n<p style=\"font-size:10px; float:left; color:#666;\">Free Reports:<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"inpost_ads\"> \r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/graph_techs_PD.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t     <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/1ApBOV\"><b><u>Get Our Free Metatrader 4 Indicators<\/u><\/b><\/a> - Put Our Free MetaTrader 4 Custom Indicators on your charts when you join our Weekly Newsletter<\/p><br><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:15px; float:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/investmacro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cot_pie_80.png\" align=\"left\" width=\"80\"  height=\"55\"\/><\/a>\r\n\t    <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/f3RrHX\"><b><u>Get our Weekly Commitment of Traders Reports<\/u><\/b><\/a> - See where the biggest traders (Hedge Funds and Commercial Hedgers) are positioned in the futures markets on a weekly basis.<\/p><br><br>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\r\n<br><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Daily close below 0.9750 will favor a bearish AUD\/CAD continuation toward 0.9600, without any bullish corrections whatsoever.\u00a0 0.9600\/20 is a strong cluster formed between a pivot level and 61.8% Fibonacci between 0.9168 and 1.0348, and the sell-off is expected to temporarily exhaust once it is reached.<\/p>\n<p>*********<br \/>\nPrepared by Alex Z., Chief Currency Strategist at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capitaltrustmarkets.com\/\">Capital Trust Markets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical Sentiment: Bearish Key Takeaways AUD continues to fall across the board as traders seek Lower Lows; The Canadian Dollar appears to be topping, which may slow down the action this week; A Daily Close below 0.9750 will pave the way toward 0.9600.
