Talking Points
- Strategy: Flat
- Doji Suggests Bulls Have Lost Momentum
- Evening Star Offered An Early Warning
AUD/USD traders are showing signs of indecision as denoted by a Doji formation on the daily. As noted in recent reports the lingering signs of a near-term downtrend meant a clean run higher was likely to prove difficult. Yet a more definitive bearish reversal signal is left desired to shift the immediate risk lower. A slide back under 0.8660 would return the risks to the recent lows near 0.8540.
