Talking Points:
- AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support:0.8772, 0.8659, 0.8568
- Resistance:0.8845, 0.8971, 0.9073
The Australian Dollar ran into resistance after rising as expected against its US counterpart following the appearance of a Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 0.8772 exposes the 0.8659-94 area marked by the January 2014 low and the 23.6% level. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib retracement at 0.8845 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 0.8971.
We entered short AUDUSD at 0.9186 and have since taken profit on half ofour exposure. The rest remains open to capture further downside momentum with a stop-loss at 0.9085, our initial objective.
