Talking Points:
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support:0.9324, 0.9201, 0.9041
- Resistance: 0.9436, 0.9460, 0.9564
The Australian Dollar may be carving out a top against its US namesake after producing a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick patternbelow the 0.95 figure. The first layer of support comes in at 0.9324. A daily close below this barrier exposes the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion at 0.9201. Alternatively, a reversal above resistance at 0.9436, the June 12 high clears the way for a challenge of the April 10 high at 0.9460, followed by rising channel bottom support-turned-resistance at 0.9564.
We entered short AUDUSD at 0.9403, initially targeting 0.9324. A stop-loss is set to activate on a daily close above 0.9460. We will book profit on half of the trade and move the stop-loss to breakeven once the first objective is reached.
