During the early European session the AUD/USD pair retreated from the two and a half month high to test the 0.78 level. The corrective slide coundn’t last long and currently the pair is trading at 0.7837 with Australian dollar backed up by the confidence in the rising equities and the positive mood of commodities,with gold and silver aiming back to their recent tops.
Technically speaking the short term outlook for the pair remains neutral to bullish. On the four hour time frame the price is moving above all its moving averages, keeping course towards north. Stochastic has retreated from its mid-line and is showing strong bullish momentum. RSI is located within extreme overbought area, but is starting to lose directional strength.
Yesterday’s high at 0.7845 comes as first resistance and is case of successful taking, next target for the bulls is seen at 0.7890-0.7900. On the flip side we must be watchful around the psychological 0.7800 handle.
The upcoming US session is offering the ISM Manufacturing PMI figures for December and the most wanted FOMC minutes, having both macro events decisive for the AUD/USD pair.
