The Australian dollar had originally broken out of major resistance during the trading session on Thursday, and on Friday pulled back a bit from those extreme highs based upon the daily candle stick on Thursday. That of course is typical, because we had pierced major resistance, so it should now be major support.

The Australian dollar broke out during the trading session on Thursday, breaking above the 0.7050 level. Not only that, we closed at the very high of the candle stick, which of course is a very bullish sign as well. We have pulled back during the trading session on Friday, reaching towards the 0.7050 level. It has held as support so far, and that is a good sign that the previous resistance barrier is now going to be an area of support. This is classic technical analysis, and on top of this with the Federal Reserve in the background looking to cut interest rates, it makes sense that this pair will continue to go higher.

Ultimately, Gold markets rallying tens the lift the Australian dollar as well, so it makes quite a bit of sense that we continue to go higher based upon a feedback loop that includes the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and of course Gold rallying as a result. If we get any type of positive movement between the Americans and the Chinese, that could also offer a bit of a boost to the Australian dollar as well. The 200 day EMA is just above, which of course is resistance but if we can break above there it’s very likely that we continue to go much higher over the longer-term. Ultimately, I believe that this break out is the beginning of a major trend change.
