Talking Points
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
- Retests Upper-Bound Of Trading Band
- Doji Suggests Hesitation In Intraday Trade

The proximity of current prices to the nearby ceiling may offer a fresh short opportunity with a target offered by the other side of the pair’s range. The four hour chart should be monitored for intraday reversal signals and entry timing.

The four hour chart reveals the presence of a Doji formation on the daily, which suggests indecision from traders near the 0.8830 barrier. Yet the candlestick pattern is not considered a key reversal pattern, which casts some doubt on the potential for a correction over the session ahead.
