Talking Points: - AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 0.7323, 0.7234, 0.7145
- Resistance:0.7379, 0.7420, 0.7468
The Australian dollar launched upward against its US namesake as expected after putting in a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 0.7379 exposes a falling trend line at 0.7420. Alternatively, a turn below the 14.6% level at 0.7323 clears the way for a test of the July 31 low at 0.7234.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for an actionable opportunity to present itself.
