AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian Dollar Continues Sideways Grind

The Australian dollar initially dipped during the trading session on Friday but then found enough buying pressure to turn around and rally. Ultimately, this is a market that should continue to be very noisy, but ultimately, I think that there are buyers waiting to pick up value as it occurs. I believe that the 0.71 level offer support, and I think that it extends down to at least the 0.70 level. I do believe that it is only a matter of time before the buyers come back into the market to pick up “cheap Aussie dollars.”

The 50 day EMA sits at the 0.70 level as well, so it makes quite a bit of sense that there would be buyers in that area to pick up the market. As we drift into the weekend, I believe that we may see some sideways grading to not only digest the massive gains previously, but the fact that we are sitting in the midst of vacation season and therefore it is likely that the market does very little as far as the volatility is. With this being the case, the market is likely to see a lot of choppy sideways action, but eventually we should see momentum come back.

Once we do, I am willing to buy the Aussie all the way down to the 0.68 level, or by a breakout to a fresh, new high that could send the Aussie all the way to the 0.75 handle, possibly even to the 0.80 level after that. With the Federal Reserve pumping the market full of greenbacks, we will more than likely continue to see this pair rally over the longer term.
