AUDUSD – Upside bias

An unexpected rebound effort Friday with general USD weakness, pushing above minor resistance and in the very near term rejecting the recent setback, shifting the bias higher for Monday.

Furthermore, the mid-June surge through the .7611 level shifted the intermediate term outlook to bullish.

For Today:

l We see an upside bias for .7589; break here aims for the .7624/7636 peaks.

Intermediate-term Outlook – Upside Risks:

l We see a positive tone with the bullish threat to .7750.

l Above here targets the .7835/49/78 area.

What Changes This? Below .7368 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below 8.7331.
