  • Bullish Reversal Fails To Find Confirmation

  • Downside Risks Remain While Sub 90 US Cents

Australian Dollar’s tumble below the 90 US cent handle has left a Morning Star formation lacking confirmation. With bullish reversal signals now seemingly absent the spotlight is cast on the 0.8885 lows.
