AUD/USD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the price may well bottom out somewhere above the round number at 0.7600. This is what happened, although unfortunately it occurred a little below the anticipated support level. There was then a strongly bullish move and it now looks as if the price is set to challenge the area of resistance between 0.7723 and 0.7750.

There is a long-term bearish trend, but it tends to “stutter”, so there are a few shorting opportunities along the way.

AUDUSD

There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time.
