AUD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that this pair would probably find it tough to break down past the support levels shown below (i.e. 0.6992) and so it proved to be, with a surprisingly powerful bullish rally.

However this pair, both over the short-term and the long-term, is really just ranging and not getting anywhere, so there are probably much better trading opportunities elsewhere, especially as we are now close to the halfway point between the two nearest key levels..AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, the Chair of the Federal Reserve will be testifying before Congress at 3pm London time, followed later by Crude Oil Inventories at 3:30pm.
