- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- March Higher Continues Following A Piercing Line
- Close Above 0.8815 Opens A Revisit OF 0.8885
The Australian Dollar has edged cautiously higher with a Piercing Line pattern in the rearview mirror offering a bullish signal for the currency. The daily close over the 0.8815 hurdle suggests a small base may be in place and opens a retest of the 0.8885 ceiling. While a Hanging Man has also emerged it awaits confirmation from a successive down period in order to be validated.
