AUD/USD Analysis
The price has found new support over the short-term on its drive back up to the major long-term resistance at 0.7625. It is now rejecting a confluence of two resistant trend lines a little way below the 0.7625 level. There is still bullish momentum, but a bearish turn would not be a surprise. The most attractive scenario would be another push up to 0.7625 with a strong rejection of both that level and both of the trend lines, producing an interesting low risk, high reward short trade entry.
