- Hammer suggests bears have run out of steam
- Morning Star in intraday trade hints at recovery to 0.9300
Signs of a potential bounce have emerged for the Australian dollar with a Hammer candlestick forming near notable support at 0.9210. While the signal suggests the bears have retreated for now, the formation awaits confirmation from a successive up-day to provide validation. With noteworthy resistance hanging overhead at the 93 US cent handle, a recovery would be seen as an opportunity to enter new short positions.
