Technical Analysis

Looking at today’s AUD/USD technical analysis there is near term resistance lining up at 0.7380. A daily close above this technical level challenges the next technical resistance lining up at 0.7408. The alternative AUD/USD technical analysis, should the Australian Dollar push lower, thus pushing this Forex market towards support levels, notes technical support at 0.7322. A break below this level challenges the technical support lining up at 0.7233/34.

Trade Strategy

There is no event risk in this Forex market tomorrow. Tomorrow the United Sates will release its all-important jobs report, the non-farm payrolls (NFP). If you recall, the Fed is watching data before making a decision whether or not to raise rates and normalize monetary policy in September. With no event risk today, I will rely on my technical analysis and charts to make a trade decision in the AUD/USD Forex market.

Price action is too narrow to narrow to warrant any type of trade right now. From a risk to reward perspective, there is no long of short AUD trade right now. Keeping everything in mind, especially the lack of direction price action cues, I will opt to stand aside and monitor my charts for a more opportune trade opportunity to come along. Today, I am flat in the AUD/USD Forex market.
