The AUD/USD rallied from 0.8911 to the current levels at 0.9107 through Wednesday.
This steep ascent was caused by the Australian Dollar’s strength over a very weak U.S. Dollar as U.S. equities rallied strongly throughout the trading day.
The Triangle breakout from 0.9020 pushed the AUD/USD higher towards previous resistance at 0.9080 – which was quickly broken as the bulls continued to rally the pair through the “big figure” at 0.9100 where prices have now stalled.
The 240-minute time frame currently has an overbought Stochastic (21 period) reading that could be signaling a sentiment shift as it appears the bulls have little momentum left.
Price action could also be stalling in anticipation of the Trade Balance figures due out at 9:30 pm EST.
The initial pattern break yielded an 80 pip follow-through and could now be exhausting at these levels.
To confirm a reversal, prices will have to break back below 0.9100 and continue lower through the past resistance at 0.9080 which will now be support.
