AUD/USD Forex Signal 03/12: Short-Term Bullish Trend (Chart)


(MENAFN- Daily Forex) My previous AUD/USD signal on 26th November may have produced a losing short trade from either $0.6519 or $0.6553, although in my detailed forecast I did say that it was worth taking a bullish bias.

The best method to identify a classic“price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar, a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels/USD Analysis

In my previous AUD/USD forecast a week ago, I wrote that the outlook would be bullish as long as the big round number at $0.6500 held. It did, and the price has continued to rise ever since, in a fairly well-organised short-term trend, with the price mostly contained by the ascending linear regression channel which is shows within the price chart below.

There is now an 89% chance, according to the CME FedWatch tool derived from market pricing, of a 0.25% rate cut by the US Federal Reserve at its meeting next week, and this is dominating the Forex market by pushing the US Dollar down against its long-term bullish trend.

The Australian Dollar seems to be fundamentally strong as the RBA has no scope for rate cuts in the near future, although a rate hike with declining GDP growth is probably also out of the question – Australian GDP data released earlier today was somewhat disappointing.

I think we will see the price continue to advance, although it currently has some room to fall within the channel. A natural area of short-term support is the lower trend line of this channel which is currently sitting just above the half-number at $0.6550, so a long scalp from a bullish bounce there might work out well.
