AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 0.9186
-
Support:0.8652, 0.8544, 0.8457
-
Resistance:0.8821, 0.8887, 0.8932
The Australian Dollar moved higher as expected against its US counterpart after producing a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 0.8821 exposes support-turned-resistance marked by March 3 low at 0.8887. Alternatively, a turn below the 8652-59 area marked by the January 24 low and the 23.6% Fib expansion opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 0.8544.
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.
