A medium-term bear cycle in Aussie 3-yr futures remains intact, with Wednesday weakness confirming short-term gains as corrective. On the upside, an extension higher would signal scope for 96.360, the Dec 11 high. Clearance of this level would open 96.730, the Sep 17 ‘24 high. On the downside, a reversal lower from current levels would signal a resumption of the downtrend. A deeper sell-off would refocus attention on 95.760, the 14 Nov ‘24 low.
