Talking Points:
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support:0.8479, 0.8377, 0.8251
- Resistance:0.8581, 0.8659, 0.8772
The Australian Dollar may be gearing up for a recovery against its US namesake after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 0.8659, the January 2014 low, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.8743. Alternatively, a turn below the 50% Fib expansion at 0.8531 clears the way for a test of the 61.8% threshold at 0.8441.
Prices are too close to resistance to justify entering long from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests that taking up the short side is premature. With that in mind we will remain flat for now.
