AUD/USD Analysis
I was correct in not taking a bearish bias yesterday, as the price rose sharply, but then fell equally sharply to re-establish the broken resistance level. It seems likely that inflection points which stand out on the chart, such as 0.7440 for example, are also going to be acting as support and resistance. This pair looks extremely unpredictable and dangerous to trade unless you are using short-term momentum to scalp. Otherwise, it looks like traders are better off staying away from here for the time being. At the time of writing, there is very strong bearish momentum.
There is nothing important due today concerning either the AUD or the USD
