AUD/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that this pair was looking very bearish, with the major problem being the absence of any meaningful pull-backs to give a good short entry. Things have continued in this vein over the past 24 hours, with a new multi-year low being made, and at the time of writing, the price is below the low of last week’s spike down. The price has also made an excursion below the psychologically key 0.7000 level and looks likely to get down there again. So overall everything looks very bearish, and if the USD news coming up is strong, you can expect a further steep fall in this pair.
Regarding the AUD, there will be a release of Retail Sales and Trade Balance data at 2:30am London time. Concerning the USD, there is be a release of ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data due at 1:15pm.
