AUD/USD Analysis

As the USD has weakened this week, the Australian Dollar has really taken off and over the past few hours has even exceeded the long-term bearish trend line currently sitting at about 0.7670. We are entering multi-month bullish territory signalling that this pair may be beginning a new long-term bullish trend. If the USD continues to disappoint, the AUD is currently looking like the currency that will most benefit from that.

The nearest support is at 0.7650 although a deeper pullback could also be a good buying opportunity as we have a pretty convincing bullish wave structure in place now.

Above, the area from 0.7723 to 0.7750 is very crucial long-term resistance.AUDUSD

There is nothing due today regarding the AUD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of CPI data at 1:30pm London time.
