AUD/USD Analysis

We remain within the consolidating triangle but the picture is looking increasingly bullish following more positive economic data that was released in Australia earlier this morning. There are several horizontal levels and trend lines at which to look for entries relatively close to the price, but as the picture is congested, it is best to be careful. We may well see further consolidation.

AUD/USD Analysis

There are no more high-impact events scheduled today concerning either the USD or the AUD.
