AUD/USD Analysis

There is a lot of weakness right now in the USD, but the AUD has also been weak. For this reason it is not a very attractive pair to trade right now, but there is still a long bias. At the time of writing, it seems that we are breaking up past the bearish trend line that had been containing the price for a while. However, there is a key resistance level at 0.7805 that might provide a good shorting opportunity if the AUD remains weak and the USD bounces back from a sentiment later that might arise feeling it to be oversold.

AUDUSD 61815

There are no high-impact events scheduled today for the AUD. Regarding the USD, there will be CPI and Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time followed by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index later at 3pm.
