AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Still Locked in Consolidation

AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Still Locked in Consolidation

Talking Points:

  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support:0.7783, 0.7717, 0.7619
  • Resistance:0.7881, 0.7960, 0.8039

The Australian Dollar remains locked in a familiar range below the 0.79 figure against its US counterpart as prices await defined direction cues. Near-term resistance is at 0.7881, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing 0.7960 (50% level, falling trend line). Alternatively, a turn below the 23.6% retracement at 0.7783clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% Fib expansion at 0.7717.

An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
