Talking Points
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Clearance of 0.9300 opens 0.9375 then 0.9440
- Absence of bearish signal suggests further gains
The Australian Dollar has finally cleared its recent trading range between 0.9210 and 0.9300. With the push above key resistance for the currency, an extension to the 0.9440 mark may be on the cards given the absence of a bearish reversal pattern on the daily. Interim resistance is offered by the 0.9375 mark.
