Pair's Outlook
[ANNOUNCE]The commodity currency, namely the Aussie, managed to prolong the ascending channel pattern yesterday, but risks breaking it to the downside today.[/ANNOUNCE] Expectations of the Fed raising rates as soon as March keep fueling the US Dollar, allowing it to take the upper hand against the Australian counterpart. Even though the channel's lower boundary is underpinned by the weekly PP, a close below 0.7650 would not be a surprise; however, this mark could still act as a potential psychological support. Meanwhile, the second notable support rests only around 0.7625, formed by the 20-day SMA and the weekly S1.
Traders' Sentiment
There are 68% of traders holding short positions today (previously 67%). At the same time, the number of sell orders inched down from 58 to 55%.
