Talking Points

  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Absence of Reversal Patterns Suggests Declines To Continue
  • Awaiting Break of Nearby Support At 0.9000 To Open 0.8885

The Australian Dollar has managed to regain its footing in recent trade, yet a sustained recovery may prove difficult in the absence of bullish candlesticks. Selling pressure is likely to be renewed on a retest of the psychologically-significant 0.9100 ceiling. Whereas, a push below the critical 0.9000 barrier could set the pair up for its next lower and a sharp descent on the 0.8885 mark.
