AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I had a bearish bias due to the USD being the strongest currency and the AUD one of the weakest. This did not work out so well, as the price has moved up a little over the past 24 hours. The nearby support and resistance levels are close, unreliable and compressed, so I am only prepared to be impressed here by a strong bullish bounce at 0.7343 or a strongly bearish bounce at 0.7453. I am not sure which way the price will move over the forthcoming hours, so it is probably best to stand aside here for the next day or so. The AUD seems to be recovering along with stock markets as tariff talk recedes, but that can change in an instant with any kind of trade announcement from the U.S.A., China, or the European Union. The price has just made long-term lows, so longer-term bears should remain encouraged for the time being.
There is nothing due concerning the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm London time.
