AUD/USD Awaiting Break From Range For A Clearer Directional Bias

Talking Points

• AUD/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred

• Limited Follow-Through For Candlesticks On The Daily

• Awaiting Break From 0.8660 to 0.8900 Trading Range

AUD/USD remains trapped within its 0.8660 to 0.8900 trading range with recent candlestick reversal signals finding little follow-through on the daily. A close outside the narrow band would be required to suggest a clearer directional bias.
