Bullish pattern for AUDUSD H1 (retracement) :
If the price will break 0.8928 on H4 and especially 0.8969 on D1 timeframe - we may see ranging market condition with possible rally within primary bearish.
Seems - AUDUSD price is moved by itself irrespective off fundamental news events :) Price broke 0.8928 resistance on H4 and came to primary bullish with Ichimoku cloud/kumo to be below the price. Kumo is vety thin and because of that - the border of the cloud as s/r lines can not stop the price to go to any side. So, support/resistance for H4 are the following for now :
| Resistance | Support |
|---|---|
| 0.8992 | 0.8895 |
| -- | 0.8842 |

Technical Analysis for AUDUSD (adapted from dailyfx article)
Fundamental Forecast for Australian Dollar: Bullish
- Stable RBA Outlook, Supportive Chinese News-Flow to Help Aussie Recover
- Firm US Data May Not Hurt Aussie as Markets Digest QE “Taper” Outlook
On the external front, the first critical consideration is the fate of China, Australia’s largest trading partner and a leading engine of demand for the country’s key mining sector. Economists’ baseline 2014 GDP growth expectations were revised higher a month ago (according to a survey of analysts polled by Bloomberg). Data outcomes from the East Asian giant began to improve compared with median forecasts over the same period and short-term lending rates have reversed sharply lower, with the 7-day Shibor benchmark fixed at a two-week low of 4.711 percent on Friday. All told, this makes for a broadly benign landscape.
The second key factor on the external side of the equation is the US monetary policy outlook. The Aussie has been closely anchored to US treasury yields, falling in lock-step with a rise in borrowing costs as the Fed began to “taper” its QE effort and drove liquidation across assets that had benefitted from the stimulus program.
