I’m looking for selling opportunities on AUD/USD after the unemployment rate ticked higher and Chinese trade balance fell below expectations, this caused AUD/USD to fall below 0.9400 overnight.
You could look to short this pair around 0.9400 to 0.9430 area with a profit target around 0.9350 and a SL at 0.9460.
Overall Bias on this trade
This trade is a shorter term sentiment position based off Australian and Chinese data overnight. I remain bullish on AUD in the long term but feel that 0.9500 may provide a solid cap for the price action for now, mainly because the RBA have left rates unchanged and gave the market a neutral tone, basically saying they aren’t going to cut rates but they aren’t going to raise them either.
If the price falls down to 0.9300 – 0.9200 I expect the price to be supported, so these would be good prices to buy AUD/USD for a longer term trade.
