Investor demand for AUD grows as GDP beats forecasts

Australian second-quarter GDP data exceeded expectations, pointing to stronger underlying economic performance and fueling demand for the Australian dollar. This firmer growth backdrop typically lends support to the currency as investors recalibrate expectations for policy and capital flows. While such macroeconomic results can underpin AUD strength, price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Downside risk persists as weak momentum aligns with oversold signals

On the technical side, AUD/THB is trading below the hourly MA-20 at ฿23.748 and MA-50 at ฿23.771, while sitting above the longer-term MA-200 at ฿22.927. The Ichimoku Kijun at ฿23.72 forms immediate resistance, and intraday volatility is low with prices mid-range for the session. Momentum indicators remain weak, with a Sell signal from MACD and the Awesome Oscillator aligning with the downtrend. ADX is Neutral, suggesting a lack of strong trend conviction. RSI stands at 22.957, deep in Sell territory, while Stoch RSI and CCI are both oversold; Bull/Bear Power also highlights seller dominance intraday.

Rangebound outlook for AUD/THB amid rising downside risk

In the short term, AUD/THB is expected to remain rangebound, with a likely trading band between ฿23.538 and ฿23.774 over the next several days. The probability of a continued decline is estimated at 73%, while a rebound has a 27% chance. A push above resistance at ฿23.72 would open scope for recovery, while a break below ฿23.538 support could accelerate further downside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent Australian GDP surprise as a supportive macro driver for AUD, but technical signals remain bearish. He believes persistent seller momentum outweighs short-term positive economic news. Cautious sentiment and weak indicators limit upside prospects for now. "Until AUD/THB reclaims ฿23.72 resistance, I remain defensive and expect further downside risk."

Earlier, analysts noted that AUD/THB was dominated by bullish technical momentum and persistent buyer strength. However, the current article marks a shift in tone, as downside risks become more prominent and traders should closely monitor the potential for a break below ฿23.538 support.
