AUD/USD Analysis

We can get rid of the old higher trend line which has been violated and invalidated, and draw a new somewhat tentative trend line connecting the swing highs. We can also do the same with the lows, to form a consolidating triangle. The lower trend line is somewhat more valid as it has had what can be more properly described as two subsequent touches that held. Within the triangle there is a probable flipped supportive level confluent with the half number at 0.7650. There is some weakness in the AUD and strength in the USD so it seems likely we will reach 0.7650 before breaking the upper trend line.
