Pair's Outlook
Relatively poor US fundamentals allowed the AUD/USD currency pair to edge higher, easily retaking the 0.76 level and piercing the immediate resistance cluster. This cluster is now providing support, while technical indicators suggest the pair is to weaken again. It is uncertain whether the demand area around 0.76 will be able to keep the Aussie elevated, but in case bears do take over, the 0.7570 mark will be the main target. Nonetheless, the overall trend remains bullish, with the trend-line receiving four strong and solid confirmations, thus, today might be a minor setback before the pair continues to climb higher.
