the downside after recording its intra-day high of 0.7913 on February 26th 2015. This level is located just above its horizontal resistance level and after a quick reversal and breakdown below it this currency pair drifted to the upside, but reached a lower high with an intra-day high of 0.7860 on March 4 2015. A descending resistance level formed and the AUD/USD accelerated to the downside until it recorded an intra-day low of 0.7560 on March 11th 2015. This marked a false breakdown below its horizontal support level and the AUD/USD bounced back inside of it.
Price action is now trading inside of its horizontal support level and is guided higher by its ascending support level. The AUD/USD is expected to resume its move to the upside until it will breakout above its descending resistance level which will extend the move into its horizontal resistance level. Binary options traders can take advantage from the anticipated breakout with binary call options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed on dips below 0.7640 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/2.75.
The AUD/USD was exposed to a trading environment with decreased volatility which accompanied the move to the downside, but an increase in volatility is expected as this currency pair is now trading inside of a triangle formation. The ascending support level is increasing upward pressure while the descending resistance level is increasing downward pressure on the AUD/USD. Sellers may attempt a breakdown in order to keep the downtrend intact while buyers are likely to use the strength of its horizontal support level together with the ascending support level to successfully breakout and advance. This favors binary call options in the AUD/USD currency pair.
The first resistance level awaits the AUD/USD at the intersection between its ascending support level and its descending resistance level around the 0.7690 mark. A breakout above this level will accelerate the AUD/USD to its intra-day low of 0.7739 which was reached on February 24th 2015. This level represents the low reached before the AUD/USD spiked to its intra-day high from where the reversal originates. The final resistance level is located at its intra-day high of 0.7860 which was reached on March 4 2015 from where a double top formation may develop.
