AUD/USD Analysis
The Australian Dollar was the strongest gainer against the U.S. Dollar yesterday when it fell strongly after the FOMC statement. This pair is also in a long-term technical upwards trend. These facts are significant, but it is also notable that this pair just has not been able to sustain itself above about 0.7750 for a period longer than one year. A bullish break of this area would be extremely bullish and very significant, suggest a continued strong upwards movement. Alternatively, the price could fail again here, and drop over time by hundreds of pips.
There is nothing due today regarding the AUD. Concerning the USD, there will be releases of Building Permits, Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, and Unemployment Claims data at 12:30pm London time.
