AUD/USD Price Analysis: Bears gearing up for a breakout of ascending wedge
|- AUD/USD is losing its bullish stance in early Asia.
- Bears await confirmations that structure to the downside is broken.
AUD/USD has been climbing through the start of the week, rallying from a low of 0.6841 to score a high of 0.6868. However, from a top-down analysis, the pair looks to be riping for a short below trendline support.
An ascending wedge on the lower time frames supports the bearish outlook. However, bears might be prudent for a break below zero in MACD on the 15 min time frame to confirm the bearish territory with price below the 21 moving average.
