The Left and Center Tips were formed several weeks ago while the currency was still in an uptrend, while the Right Tip was formed recently following the break of the uptrend line. DAILY CHART There has now been a bearish breakout candle below the Support of this Range that is providing a potential entry signal to take part in the trend. So what could have led to this setup for a downtrend? ECONOMIC NEWS The downtrend on the 4 Hour Chart that led to the Daily Signal, started a few hours after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept the cash rate unchanged at 2.5%. Based on the current indicators of domestic economic activity, the RBA believed there was enough stimulus in place to support growth. Nevertheless, decisions to reduce or keep interest rates unchanged
