AUD/USD Forex Signal - 21 December 2016

AUD/USD Signal Update

Yesterday’s signals produced a profitable long trade following the bullish pin candle rejecting the support level identified at 0.7228, and this ran all the way up to the next resistance level of 0.7269, where another pin candle gave a losing short signal. The win was larger than the loss so it was a profitable day overall here.

AUD/USD Analysis

This pair had been very bearish, but we had a significant bullish bounce yesterday from the support level identified at 0.7228. It looks as if the price is now forming the final leg of a bullish Quasimodo pattern with new support coming in at 0.7244. If that level holds, the price should move up and if it breaks 0.7269 quickly, that would be a bullish sign.

The long-term trend is bearish.
