Talking Points

  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Bullish Reversal Fails To Find Confirmation
  • Downside Risks Remain While Sub 90 US Cents

Australian Dollar’s tumble below the 90 US cent handle has left a Morning Star formation lacking confirmation. With bullish reversal signals now seemingly absent the spotlight is cast on the 0.8885 lows.

A parade of Doji formations on the four hour chart indicates hesitation from traders to lead the pair lower. Yet in the absence of a definitive key reversal pattern a recovery may prove difficult. Sellers are likely to reemerge at former support-turned-resistance near 0.9000.
