AUD/USD Analysis

The consolidating triangle has continued to hold and narrow. I had thought that reversals off the trend lines would be more probable trades that breakouts and this outlook was rewarded by the bullish bounce we got earlier from the trend line drawn below. I continue with this outlook of fading the trend line hits, although today I am more comfortable taking a short off the upper trend line than a long off the lower one, as the lower one was just hit a few hours ago. Another hit might indicate a breakout to the down side, after which we would look for support at 0.7200.

AUDUSD
