Talking Points
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Bounce From Critical Floor Produces A Reversal Signal
- H4 Suggests Indecision From Traders In Intraday Trade
AUD/USD’s bounce from the 0.8660 floor has left a Piercing Line pattern in its path. If confirmed by a successive up-day it could herald a revisit of the recent range-highs near 0.8885. In the alternative scenario a close below the nearby floor would open fresh short entries and the next leg lower to the July ’10 low near 0.8320.

The four hour chart paints a less encouraging picture for the bulls. A parade of Doji patterns suggests considerable indecision from traders near the 0.8735 mark. This leaves clearer directional candlestick signals desired to offer a technical bias.
