In U.S. currency trading the previous day, the dollar strengthened after Cleveland Fed President Mester stated, “We need to raise the policy rate to a level above 4% and maintain it there.” The AUD/USD pair fell by about 60 pips from 0.6903 to 0.6840.The pair continued to decline during today’s Asian trading session, touching 0.6804. However, since it has reached a level that acts as a support line on the 4-hour chart, traders should watch for a corrective rebound.
In the European currency market, the euro held its ground against the strengthening U.S. dollar, with the EUR/USD pair rising by just over 100 pips from 0.9971 to 1.0079.The euro also continues to perform strongly against the pound, another European currency, with the EUR/GBP pair posting a strong bullish candle for the fourth consecutive day. While it is currently trading at 0.8649, the 4-hour RSI stands at 77, so traders should be wary of a corrective pullback.
