AUDUSD price facing resistance
Back on August 16 we argued here that AUDUSD was well placed to move higher from its level then at 0.7275. Now it has advanced to 0.7364 at the time of writing, traders long the pair might consider closing their positions and taking profits.
From a fundamental perspective, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is reportedly facing an attempt to oust him as party leader.
Technically, the price has reached the 50-day moving average and now faces resistance from both a trendline dating back to late January just above 0.74 and the 100-day moving average at 0.7451.
A correction is therefore possible over the next few days.
