(MENAFN- DailyFX) DailyFX.com - r>

Talking Points

  • Strategy: Short (From 0.8530) Stop: 0.8540 (Daily Close) Target: 0.8330
  • Doji On The Daily Suggests Indecision From Traders
  • H4 Morning Star Pattern Offers An Intraday Reversal Signal

" style="text-align:justify"> AUD/USD has left a Doji formation in its wake suggesting hesitation from the bears to drag the pair lower. Yet amid a core downtrend shorts remain preferred with a potential target offered by the July 2010 lows near 0.8320. A daily close above 0.8450 would be required to suggest a base for the pair.

The four hour chart paints a more constructive picture than the daily following the rise of a Morning Star pattern. This in turn opens the prospect of an intraday recovery. Yet given the context afforded by the daily the scope of a sustained advance is potentially limited.
