AUD/USD struggles to surpass the trend line

The AUD/USD hiked from the weekly PP support at 0.776 level, closer to the Alligator (13,8,5) jaw line. The pair continue to trade within a trend line formed from the beginning of September 2015. On the one hand, the pair have already met the trend's bottom line and should continue the appreciation. On the other, the cross seems to face one strong resistance line– the long– term monthly trend line that led the pair to depreciate for several years.
