AUD/USD Analysis

We have had a significant pullback against the prevailing trend which is at least partly due to some not so very terrible Chinese economic data that was released during the earlier Asian session. The price of this pair is currently trying to break up past a key resistance zone that tops at about 0.6927. A break up above this area is quite likely to see a further move up to the key psychological level of 0.7000. However if the move up fails close to the New York open without really breaking past 0.6927, this could provide a good shorting opportunity.

AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning either the AUD or the USD.
