AUD/USD Analysis
The technical picture is very interesting with both trend lines shown on the chart below having acted as good resistance during recent swings. We seem to be reversing off a rejection of the nearest trend line that happened earlier today near the beginning of the London session. It suggests a move down to test support at 0.7200 again, but it may be difficult to overcome the minor support that is probably there at around 0.7250.
There are key and obvious support and resistance levels above and below and in this kind of market they are probably going to be profitable to expect reversals at unless and until sentiment changes. That is unlikely to happen before the FOMC release on Wednesday.
There is nothing due today regarding either the AUD or the USD.
