Broader Technical Outlook: Aussie rebounded off confluence median-line support yesterday on a failure to break below the monthly opening range low. The trade remains constructive while above the monthly / weekly open at 7448/50 near-term resistance eyed at the confluence of the 61.8% retracement of the April decline and the upper median-line parallel extending off the yearly high at 7571. Subsequent topside targets eyed at 7644 & the 78.6% retracement at 7687.

Notes: We alerted SB Trade Desk clients last night as Aussie was approaching confluence support at 7424 where basic slope support converges on the 50% retracement of the post-Brexit advance. The subsequent rally has taken out initial topside targets with the advance now once again approaching the 61.8% retracement of Brexit decline at 7516.

Momentum maybe a little stretched here with a pullback likely to offer more favorable long-entries while above the weekly open targeting 7571, the April low-day close at 7590 and the upper median-line parallel / 7644. A quarter of the daily average true range (ATR) yields profit targets of 26-30 pips per scalp. Added caution is warranted heading into the end of the week with U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls likely to fuel increased volatility in USD crosses.
