Talking Points:

  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support:0.8364, 0.8263, 0.8137
  • Resistance:0.8466, 0.8592, 0.8669

The Australian Dollar remains under heavy pressure, falling for a fifth consecutive day against its US namesake. Near-term support is at 0.8364, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 0.8263. Alternatively, a turn above the 38.2% Fib at 0.8466 clears the way for a test of the 0.8552-92 area marked by the November 6 low and the 23.6% expansion.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind we will remain flat for now.
