Aussie Dollar so weak that even a falling DXY could not boost the AUD/USD

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The global “risk off” attitude took its toll on the AUD/USD Wednesday as the flight from the Aussie Dollar was apparently more intense than the budget / QE-related selling in the DXY.

AUD/USD action to be driven by risk mood and US data Thursday

Thursday, we are likely to see a continuation of the “risk-trade” / FOMC / US budget influences on the AUD/USD. However, additionally traders will be monitoring the US GDP and pending home sales data due out early in the US session.

Technical outlook for AUD/USD

Technicians say the AUD/USD has room to fall as “correction support” does not come into play until 0.9282. AUD/USD bulls will need to hold firm at that level if they are to have a chance at victory short-term. The next target on the downside if 0.9282 fails is 0.9253. Resistance comes into play at 0.9456.

The DXY’s 3-day levitation act ended Wednesday; lower target of 79.93 now in play

The “risk-off” trade was still in play Wednesday – it’s just that the greenback was lumped in with the risk assets instead of the safety assets for the first time in several sessions. The DXY now looks poised to test downside targets instead of upside resistance thresholds.
