AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian dollar falls again

By
Christopher Lewis
AUD/USD daily chart, December 28, 2018

The Australian dollar has fallen again during the trading session on Thursday, reaching down towards the 0.70 level. This is an area that should offer significant support though, and I think that if we can break down below there, the market could really start to pick up speed.

The Australian dollar fell a bit during the trading session on Thursday as we continue to see a lot of negativity around the global markets, and of course the Australian dollar is very sensitive to the global Outlook and of course the US/China trading relations, which of course is on the rocks right now. I think that if we can break down below the 0.70 level, we will then go to the 0.68 handle. Rallies at this point are selling opportunities and I believe that the 200 day exponential moving average above is massive resistance, so I think that the 0.7250 area will be attracted for sellers again. I have no interest in trying to buy the Australian dollar, and I think that signs of exhaustion after rallies will be selling opportunities.

Ultimately, I think that the Australian dollar is going to continue to suffer at the hands of global jitters, so therefore I think that short-term selling opportunities will be paid quite a bit of attention to. I think at this point, we are looking at a lot of short-term trading. Fading the rallies will continue to work but I think it’s going to be difficult to do so on the daily chart. I think we are looking at 15 minute charts for opportunities, but quite frankly I think that this is the gift that keeps on giving, as the Australian dollar gets hammered time and time again as not only do we have the Sino-American problems, we also have a weakening Australian economy.
