AUD/USD Analysis
The pair broke down past the anticipated support at 0.8000 yesterday with the strengthening of the USD and this level has now become minor resistance but it has been messed around a little too much to be very useful.
We got a move up from a price close to 0.7950 so this may again prove to be supportive but be careful and watch for another fairly strong rejection from there.
The Australian data we had earlier this morning has not proved directionally conclusive so the next major move is quite likely to be triggered by any surprises in tomorrow’s U.S. FOMC Minutes.
There will be a release of U.S. Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
