What to Watch: AUD/USD

We saw a pickup in risk-taking over the past few trading sessions, so I’m waiting on more bullish moves from this pair!

AUD/USD already completed the retest we were looking at earlier this week, which hints that a reversal from the selloff is underway.

Price has yet to break past the inverted head and shoulders neckline around the .7175 area to confirm that an uptrend of the same height as the chart pattern would follow. That’d be roughly 250 pips yo!

The upward moving average crossover suggest that Aussie bulls are in it for the long haul, but Stochastic is suggesting that buyers could use a break.

If resistance at the neckline holds, AUD/USD could retreat to the area of interest around the .7100 handle.

That might depend on whether or not risk appetite extends its stay in the financial markets. So far, it looks like easing geopolitical tensions are keeping a lid on safe-haven rallies. To top it off, expectations of a slowdown in U.S. inflation could dampen March rate hike hopes and the dollar’s gains.
