AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
-
Support:0.8085, 0.8012, 0.7895
-
Resistance:0.8202, 0.8281, 0.8401
The Australian Dollar continues to oscillate in a narrow range having found support above the 0.81 figure against its US namesake. Near-term resistance is at 0.8202, the December 18 high, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 0.8281. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib expansion at 0.8085 clears the way for a challenge of the 23.6% threshold at 0.8012. Positive RSI divergence hints at ebbing bullish momentum and warns a bounce may be ahead.
Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear-cut and actionable signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a compelling opportunity to present itself.
