  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Doji Emerges On Retest of Range Ceiling
  • Evening Star Sees Limited Follow-Through

AUD/USD’s sideways drift has produced yet another Doji candlestick near the 0.8885 ceiling. The formation suggests traders remain indecisive at the pair’s range-top. The proximity of current prices to the nearby barrier leaves shorts preferred. However, the emergence of a reversal signal is desired to present a more attractive entry.

The four hour chart reveals an Evening Star pattern near the 0.8830 barrier. However, it is not encouraging to witness limited follow-through to the signal. This may suggest a consolidation over the session ahead.
