AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Wedge correction up from 2018 lows


  • AUD/USD sellers drove the main bearish trend to new 2018 lows yet again this Tuesday. 
  • AUD/USD is forming a counter-trend bullish falling wedge which can signify that AUD/USD might enter a consolidation phase before resuming its bear trend. The correction up can target 0.7200 figure (August 15 low). The RSI, MACD and Stochastics on the 4-hour chart are pointing upward suggesting that the Aussie might be indeed oversold for the time being. 
  • A sustained bear breakout below 0.7085 (2018 low) would invalidate the short-term bullish correction.
