AUDUSD The Long and Short

Talking Points:

- Aussie nearing make or break point

- Inverse Head-and-shoulders vs. Bear Flag

- Support/Resistance at 8000/8300

Aussie is attempting to put in a short-term bottom above the all-important 8000 level by carving out a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. It is currently trading at the neckline of this formation with a 4-month trend-line lying just overhead. If it can clear these levels over 8300, then it has a shot at moving up towards 8500. However, if it stays contained below this level, the risk for this reversal pattern becoming a continuation pattern in the form of a bear flag increases significantly. The plan for now, sit tight and watch for either a clean break above 8300 or a bear flag with bearish implications to mature in coming days.
