The Australian dollar is torn between positive Chinese data and not-so-good employment data at home. The wobbles of the US dollar also play a role in AUD/USD.

The Australian dollar is torn between positive Chinese data and not-so-good employment data at home. The wobbles of the US dollar also play a role in AUD/USD. What do the technical levels tell us? Here is the view from NAB:

NAB Technical FX Research notes that while AUD/USD 2017 uptrend remains in play from a price structure, the pair’s repeated failures above 0.7730 in 2017 confirm that resistance up to 0.7850 is likely a firm obstacle.

As such, NAB continues to anticipates a multi-week period of consolidation in an approximate 0.7500/20 to 0.7730/50 range.

“A weekly close above 0.7835 will confirm a sustainable MT uptrend,” NAB argues.
