-0.2%, in a busy 0.7038-0.7065 D3 range after very weak retail sales
Retail sales fell 3.9%, median forecast -0.3% as cost of living hits
Knee jerk 0.7038 AUD dip on data, then settled around 0.7050
RBAWATCH 25pt Feb 7 hike 90%, but June implied slipped from 67bp to 62bp
Charts; momentum studies crest, 21 day Bollinger bands head higher
5, 10 & 21 daily and weekly moving averages all climb - net bullish setup
Break of 0.7136 August high would target a test of the 0.7282 June top
Close below 0.6957 rising 21 day moving average would end topside bias
