AUDUSD trading strategy on October 20The RBA meeting has been held and we have found the co-governor leaning towards the possibility of additional interest rate hikes and will await economic data in the near term. In line with the hawkish trend, RBA Governor Michele Bullock spoke at the summit yesterday and pointed to recent back-to-back events that provide a high reward. All of this makes Wednesday's Australian Q3 CPI the focus of attention for AUD. A Bloomberg survey expected the full share to come in at 5.2%, well above the RBA's mandated target of 2-3%. In the near future, US government bond benefits will increase higher than continued USD support and could create AUD/USD at a new bottom.

Who's Right? Hawk Economists vs. Dove Traders - RBA meets Today Who's Right? Hawk Economists vs. Dove Traders - RBA meets Today Yesterday, the AUD/USD experienced its third consecutive day of growth. However, the upward trend is expected to face obstacles during Tuesday's trading session due to the impending Reserve Bank of Australia meeting. Despite some analysts adopting a more hawkish stance and predicting a rate hike as the most likely outcome of today's meeting, money market traders have reduced their forecast to a one-in-three chance of an increase, down from 40 percent on Friday afternoon. Although inflation numbers in Australia have slowed down, the Consumer Price Index remains above the target range, while the key interest rate stands at 4.1 percent, below the CPI. Furthermore, recent remarks from RBA Governor Lowe have maintained a hawkish tone, leaving the possibility of further rate hikes open, even after two unexpected increases. As US markets remain closed in observance of Independence Day, the AUD/USD has been consolidating at 0.66700 prior to the RBA decision. With conflicting views from economists and traders, the meeting's outcome has the potential to inject some volatility into the pair. In terms of potential resistance levels, the initial zone to watch out for is around 0.66900, followed by 0.67200. However, it is important to note that considering the RSI's decline below the 60.00 level, the upward momentum has weakened. Nevertheless, the overall inclination remains biased towards the upside. Therefore, exploring higher levels may not be immediately feasible.
