Summary
AUD/THB traded at ฿23.532 near the session high, staying above its 20-, 50- and 200-period moving averages and keeping a bullish bias toward ฿23.65 resistance.
฿23.466 marks immediate support at the Ichimoku Kijun level, with the pair expected to consolidate in a ฿23.414-฿23.65 band unless a breakout or drop below support shifts the short-term trend.
Australian Retirement Trust — Australia’s second-largest superannuation fund — has shifted currency exposure away from the U.S. dollar toward an overweight yen position, reflecting broader institutional reassessment of currency risk as central-bank outlooks change.
MACD, Bull/Bear Power and the Awesome Oscillator still favor buyers, though CCI is overbought, RSI sits at 63 and neutral Stoch RSI and ADX readings suggest conviction is not uniform.
A move above ฿23.65 would strengthen the medium-term bullish case and open room for fresh highs, while a break under ฿23.414 would point to deeper short-term losses.
