AUD/USD Analysis
The AUD continues to be bullish. A glance at the hourly chart below shows it has been rising strongly over the past several days and has moved today even more strongly than its sister pair NZD/USD, which has been maintaining a clearer, stronger long-term bullish trend.
It is now right at a key resistance level with another very important one close by: 0.7750. This area still seems likely to hold the price for a while. A break above 0.7750 will be very bullish.
There is nothing due today concerning the AUD. Regarding USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by Crude Oil Inventories at 4pm.
