AUD/USD Analysis

I thought yesterday that the weaker side of the consolidating triangle was the lower trend line, and so it proved to be, as the price broke down strongly past it, and now sits very close to anticipated support at 0.7200. A bullish reversal here could provide a nice opportunity for a profitable long trade. There are also a couple of support levels not far below that where possible bullish reversals may occur if the price does continue to fall.

AUDUSD

 There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the AUD or the USD.
