AUD/USD Analysis

The price fell off earlier but is recovering, and overall the pair is trading fairly bullishly and looks comfortably established within a wide, bullish channel. I have adjusted the closest probable horizontal support to 0.7645 and also 0.7623 as a new level not far below that. The lower channel trend line is also rising quite steeply, and if the price survives above this area when it all becomes confluent, it should become quite powerful.

The RBA will not want to see the price extend much beyond 0.7700 but it is unclear whether they will be able to talk the price down again without an actual interest rate cut.
