Preferred Strategy: Aside from some choppy trade after yesterday’s domestic jobs data, the Aud had an uninspiring session confined mostly to a 30 point range below 0.7600.
As before, near term support arrives at 0.7570 (July low), which was also briefly tested yesterday, below which would target Fibo support at around 0.7515. As I said before, I suspect the Aud$ is building a bear flag and is likely to see a more sustained test the downside which will eventually take us towards 0.7400. Patience will be required but trading from the short side is still preferred.
On the topside, resistance will be seen at 0.7600/10, at 0.7620 and at 0.7650. I doubt we go close but if wrong, above here could then revisit the 13 Nov high of 0.7665, above which would then allow room to move towards 0.7675/80 and possibly 0.7695/0.7700.
In the absence of any data, a quiet day might be expected and the outlook remains unchanged.
Sell AudUsd @ 0.7600. SL @ 0.7635, TP @ 0.7515
