AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Waiting To Sell Into Upswing
Dailyfx | Sep 11, 2015 01:45AM ET
Talking Points:
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Price Rise as Expected After Forming a Morning Star Candlestick Pattern
- Waiting for Corrective Upswing to Yield a New Short Trade Opportunity
The unexpectedly strong set of employment figures that helped weigh against RBA interest rate cut speculation.
From here, a daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 0.7110 clears the way for a challenge of 0.7173, the intersection of falling trend line resistance and the 50% level. Alternatively, a turn back below the 23.6% Fib at 0.7033 opens the door for a test of the 14.6% retracement at 0.6985.
Current positioning does not offer an attractive trading opportunity. The available trading range at 77 pips is smaller than 20-day ATR, suggesting prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance to justify taking a trade from a risk/reward perspective. Furthermore, the dominant trend remains conspicuously bearish. With that in mind, we will remain on the sidelines and wait for the upswing to yield a new selling opportunity.
