AUD/USD Weekly Price Forecast – Australian Dollar Gets Crushed for The Week
The Australian dollar initially gapped lower to show signs of weakness, turned around to fill that gap, and then broke down to reach towards the 0.65 level during the Friday session. That of course is a large, round, psychologically significant figure, and therefore it’s likely that the market will react there. We are starting to see a slight bounce during the Friday session, but if we were to break down through that area it opens up the door down to the 0.63 handle which is the bottom of the financial crisis area.

At this point, the market looks as if it could bounce, but bouncing from here could be a nice selling opportunity at signs of exhaustion, and the 0.67 level above will probably offer a bit of a “ceiling” in the market. If we were to break above that level it would change a lot of things but right now, I just don’t see that happening. At this point, the market is likely to bounce a bit, but I look at that bounce as an opportunity to pick up the US dollar “on the cheap.” Ultimately, if we were to break down below the 0.63 level underneath, that would be a disaster for the Aussie. The US dollar should continue to attract quite a bit of inflow due to safety concerns, and of course the fact that the Australians are so highly levered to China itself. With this, keep in mind that we are in a downtrend for a multitude of reasons to begin with, so buying is extraordinarily dangerous.
