FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/NZD appears to be in the midst of the next wave lower with a minimum downside target of 1.1253 and possibly even 1.0908.

AUD/NZD sliding on a bearish technical set-up and geo-political tensions

AUD/NZD has turned back to the downside after a corrective “abc” move up to 1.1598. That corrective move is definitely leading to a primary move lower. But, the question is whether it is a short-term wave with 1.1253 as a target (from 1.1485 currently) is in process or it is a larger primary move lower with a target of 1.0908.

Traders in AUD/NZD will have to wait until Wednesday to get any meaningful data to digest. Until then, it will be all technical and geo-politics driving the action. Right now, the Aussie Dollar is a heavily-trafficked “risk” currency – and when those betting on risk assets rising get nervous, they liquidate without asking questions. Right now, that appears to be the case with the Aussie Dollar..
