  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
  • Dark Cloud Cover Suggests Declines To Continue
  • Recovery Doubtful In Absence Of Reversal Signals

The Australian Dollar may be set to extend its recent declines following the emergence of a Dark Cloud Cover candlestick formation near the currency’s range-top. An absence of bullish reversal signals casts doubt on a recovery and puts the 0.9320 floor in focus.

A Hanging Man on the four hour chart offered an early warning signal of a potential correction over the session. Several Dojis near 0.9380 suggested indecision from traders yet reversal signals remain lacking. Buyers are likely to emerge at intraday support near 0.9360.
