AUD/USD Analysis
Yesterday this pair looked like it would going to complete a pull back all the way back to its opening price for the week, and it was looking less bearish than its sister pair NZD/USD. Both of these prospects seem to have disappeared with the pair moving down again with some momentum over the last few hours. The price is again about to test the support level at 0.7068 and I am still not looking for a long at that point.
There is plenty of very attractive resistance levels and confluent bearish trend lines above, beginning at 0.7213, which would be likely to give good shorting opportunities. There is high impact news due over the coming hours concerning both currencies in this pair, so there could well be a spike up to those prices. However there are signs of a renewed China/Global Equity selloff which could dramatically weaken the AUD over the coming hours.
Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of GDP data at 2:30am London time. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data due at 3pm.
