AUD/USD about to drop?
|Following Monday's noticeable reversal in the bullish trend for US indices, risk-sensitive currencies such as the commodity dollars will be in focus now.
If the stock market selling resumes today, then I would expect to see the likes of the AUD/USD and NZD/USD break lower and USD/CAD to push higher.
This is how the Nasdaq 100 chart looks:
If the above is a genuine reversal signal, then the AUD/USD looks juicy for the bears:
The AUD/USD created an inverted hammer on daily on Monday, tracking the reversal for major US indices. A few weeks ago, it had created a false break above its old high at 0.7032 and price has since struggled to go back above the 0.70 handle.
Given the above developments I think a correction looks likely. I would be wrong if we close above 0.70 on daily.
