Trade Strategy
Let’s now look at today’s AUD/USD trade strategy. First off, there is no event risk on today’s economic calendar that would have a big impact on price volatility. This could cause some price drifting.
This means I will have to rely on my charts and technical analysis to make a trade decision. Price action in this particular Forex market is very inconclusive. There is no directional signal that warrants either a long AUD or short AUD trade. With this in mind, I will opt to stand aside and monitor my AUD/USD charts for a more actionable trade setup to come along. For today, I am flat in this Forex market.
One more thing, the overall Australian Dollar trend is bearish. The RBA wants a weak AUD and is deliberately enacting monetary policy to keep their currency low in order to stimulate trade. I would be more inclined to wait for a short AUD trade at this point.
