AUD/USD Forex Technical Analysis – Strengthens Over .7152, Weakens Under .7095

The Australian Dollar is trading higher on Wednesday after plunging more than 1% the previous session. The whipsaw trading action is being fueled by comments from President Trump. Late Tuesday, Trump surprised investors by calling off stimulus talks until after the November 3 presidential election. This triggered a steep sell-off in the Aussie as investors dumped riskier assets.

The Aussie is rebounding on Wednesday after the initial shock from the announcement eased when the U.S. President later asked Congress to extend $25 billion in new payroll assistance to U.S. passenger airlines.

President Trump on Tuesday night said he’s willing to pass several independent coronavirus relief measures – including a new round of stimulus checks – hours after pushing for a pause in negotiations on a new aid package.

Daily Swing Chart Technical Forecast

The early price action suggests a rangebound trade if the AUD/USD remains inside a pair of 50% levels at .7095 and .7152.

Bullish Scenario

A sustained move over .7152 will indicate the buying is getting stronger. If this creates enough upside momentum then look for the rally to possibly extend into a resistance cluster at .7209 to .7210.

Bearish Scenario

The inability to overcome .7152 will signal the selling is getting stronger. This could lead to a retest of the main 50% level at .7095. This price is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside with .7020 to .7006 the next likely downside target area. #AUD/USD##FX#
