Talking Points:

  • AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

  • Support: 0.7706, 0.7559, 0.7459

  • Resistance:0.7900, 0.8058, 0.8221

The Australian Dollar has returned to the middle of its long-standing range above the 0.75 figure against its US counterpart. Near-term resistance is in the 0.7857-7900 area (23.6% level, February 25 high), with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 0.8059.Alternatively, a reversal below the 0.7706-33 zone (14.6% Fib, horizontal pivot) opens the door for a test of the range floor at 0.7559.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
