Talking Points:

• AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support:0.8263, 0.8137, 0.7934

• Resistance:0.8364, 0.8466, 0.8592

The Australian Dollar fell for a seventh consecutive day against its US namesake, making for the longest streak in at least 21 years. Near-term support is at 0.8263, the 61.8% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 76.4% level at 0.8137. Alternatively, a turn above the 50% Fib at 0.8364 clears the way for a test of the 38.2% expansion at 0.8466.

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.
