A break below this technical level challenges the next technical support lining up at 0.7085.
Trade Strategy
Let’s discuss today’s AUD/USD trade strategy. There is not a lot of event risk to discuss today. On the AUD/USD economic calendar, the United States will release retail sales a later in the trading day. This can cause some Dollar volatility, but not enough to adversely affect my trade daily trade strategy. I will rely more on my technical analysis and chart today.
Let’s get started. Price action, for the AUD/USD market, is trading very close to a technical resistance level. Placing a long AUD trade, from a risk to reward perspective, is premature. There are no clearly defined bearish reversal signals to warrant a short AUD trade (long USD trade) at this time. Taking this into account, I will opt to stand aside and monitor my charts for a more actionable trade opportunity to present itself. For today, I am flat in the AUD/USD Forex market.
