FxWirePro: AUD/USD stronger after Fed uncertainty hits USD
Thursday, February 4, 2016 5:37 PM UTC
- AUD/USD inched higher to trade around one month high on Thursday as strong rebound in oil prices and sharp decline in US dollar supported Aussie bulls.
- Much of the move was due to a broad selloff in the U.S. dollar on speculation the Federal Reserve might not raise interest rates this year.
- Currently the pair is making an attempt to test support level at 0.9190.
- Further decline is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 0.7150 which should limit downside and initiate rebound back towards higher side.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 0.7237, a break above this level would take the pair towards next resistance level at 0.7291.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 0.7191, a break below this level will open the door towards next level at 0.7145.
Recommendation: Go long around 0.7150, targets 0.7240, 0.7300, SL 0.7100
